 A couple days ago the heat index was *119F at Carl Sandburg's birthplace. A mild *83F today.

We've got solid clouds and a non-searing 84 degrees! :)
Nice day to work on bikes. :D

Not as hot as it was in 2011 here.

I rode through CO on my way back from Sturgis in 2011.  Scorcher, the whole way there and back.

A mild 22, er, I mean 75 here in the birthplace of Ricardo Montalban. Rains have cooled things off a bit.

But how about Phoenix? I was there working on a bike for a ocuple days in late June, caught the last under 100 day then it was 107 as I worked outside for 3 days. But now they've had 31 days of over 110.

 My brother in law works at campgrounds and lives in a 5th wheel camper. His winter employer, west of Phoenix in Tonopah talked him into staying for the summer by building a canopy over his camp space to provide shade. I'm not sure how well it worked out, but he hasn't bailed yet. I saw yesterday it's been well over a hundred all month and often 115 or more.
 His "snake trained dog" got bit by a rattler but survived. The snake not so much.

That's 31 days IN A ROW of over 110* in Phnx; today's forecast high is 107, breaking the streak. The previous record was 18 days in a row. It got up to 119 several times in the last two weeks. They also set new records for overnight high low temps, where it never cooled off below 90 at night, and one night the low was 97!
Here in Humboldt it was over 100 for 17 days in a row, getting as high as 109, which has only happened once or twice before in the 30 years I've been here.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

 His "snake trained dog" got bit by a rattler but survived. The snake not so much. 

Dogs often can survive rattlesnake bites without treatment.
Pigs love rattlesnakes and can survive multiple bites with no effect. Usually if the snake cannot get away they don't survive, the pig eats them.

While monsoon rains have started finally they have not given much rain in Tucson area. They have knocked out power in many areas with over 50k people affected by one storm last week. Snapping wooden power poles. Tucson Electric Power is replacing them with metal poles. 300 were still without power yesterday from that storm...

So far at 3:53pm it has reached 102F today out in the desert beyond the Tucson Mtns where I live...
Coolest day in over a month or longer. Tucson was suppose to reach 99F and right now that's the temp at the Airport.

Hit 103F at 5pm and airport hit 100
..so much for breaking the streak. Had a good rain storm around sunset...mixed with a strong dust storm at start...

 His Vet told him to give the dog Benadryl. It worked, the Vet told him the dog will probably be more snake aggressive now.
 Mike just said their streak of 110*+ has ended at 31 days.
