Today looks to be "the 28th day in a row":http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=397&e=5&u=/azstar/20050710/lo_azstar/26daysof100andcountingits10thlongeststreakbutfarfromtherecordof39daysin87 with 100+ temperatures. It's a dry heat and all, but there's no getting around that being out in the direct sunlight is like being in a blast furnace. I have to say, however, that when I was out east a week ago I realized what an oppressive force heat plus humidity can be. I don't miss that at all, and I was happy to escape back to my new hot, dry home state.
