It got up to 115° yesterday and may do so again today. Given modern conveniences like AC in home and car, and a pool it's not bad. But to be poor and not have access to such conveniences, or to work outside all day would be a real trial.
The TV weatherpeople keep teasing us with the Monsoon. Looking forward to thunderstorms. We've been almost 2 months with no rain. Guess that's why we call it the desert.
In 1995 in Chicago they lost so many people they brought in refrigerated semi trailers to hold the dead. (739 heat-related deaths in Chicago over a period of five days)
