The forecast for today says that it will be a bit cooler than yesterday. One degree cooler. And how often do they get that right?
If we're lucky, you can keep track of the weather here with the Weather Underground "sticker" of my weather station that I have put back on my sidebar.
Lately the sticker has been disabled now and then. It's been showing "NaN" or no value for the information. This is apparently because my Davis Vantage Pro Plus weather station has been sending bad data. The humidity sensor has gone wacko on me. Its measurements have been very erratic (though through this heat it has settled down and looks good). Bad data gets your station removed from their web site. I've ordered a new humidity sensor so I hope the station is no longer banned. I hope it gets here on Monday. If my sticker goes dead you can always check the map of the area to see what's going on. (You might have to zoom in to see my station on the map. If it hasn't been banned.)
Tangentially related to weather, here is a picture of our coral tree.
I'm not sure what species of coral tree it is. It's a miniature variety. It is supposed to be pruned to be kept small but we don't have to do any pruning. Except to cut off the dead stuff. Each year it freezes and dies down to the ground. So it gets severely pruned by the weather each year. But it grows back and blooms.
We're going down to San Diego today. It's much cooler closer to the coast so we might not swelter until we get home.
Good grief! It's already 91° and it's only 9:15.
Update: At 1:02PM it was 107.7°. I'm glad we missed it.

I guess we can't complain about the 93degrees right now
Wow! That IS hot! You should have planned your trip to Los Alamos during your hot weather. It's been pretty cool here. Cloudy, but no rain, only a few sprinkles. And then again, maybe it will still be hot there while you're here and you'll miss some of it.
I directed the play Monky Business in 2002; it's about a group of monks raising money to prevent the monastery from being converted (heh) to a casino. One of the songs is "Satan's Place," sung by a monk who is in league with the devil. He's singing about hell.
"Though it's hot,
It's a dry kind of heat,
And the band plays a sweet
Argentinian beat!
Dance break!"
Was it cooler today? I guess it couldn't get much hotter.... Unless you were in Yuma.
The high for 6/22 was 103.8°F at 12:53pm. So we're cooling off! It was hot.
Tomorrow we're really supposed to start cooling down. We'll see.
