    93 F.

    I know it's a "forecast" but they're wrong all the time. They said it would rain at 4 p.m. It didn't. They said it would only get up to 91 F. That didn't happen. I can't count the days when they said it would rain but didn't. I think their computer models have certain biases built in. I guess could think of it as erring on the side of caution although I don't see any reason I should.

      Was at a family birthday party in a park in Connecticut yesterday--temps in the 90s F. A man not of our party collapsed from the heat and was taken away by ambulance. I myself wore a hat and stayed out of the sun but after a few hours of supervising kids from the side of the pool I was done for and had to cool off with an ice pack to the back of the neck.

      Be careful out there.

        I'm trying to imagine how uncomfortable it must be when the temperature in shade is the same as body temperature!

        Summers over here for now but Friday night it was 75f at 2am inside our house, and I was seriously considering sleeping in the garden

          Sounds nice!

          One of my fondest memories is sleeping on the screened in “sleeping porch” at my grandmother’s house in Minneapolis. A design trend that deserves to come back IMHO.

            It was pleasant outside, apart from the mossies.

              Ha! Their American cousins are referred to as skeeters. 😁

              @rustyfingers I really couldn't stay outside for more than 10 or 15 minutes yesterday. Heat indices (combination of temperature and humidity) here were pushing 110 and will again today.

              Hope the guy who collapsed is OK...

                    I saw my first lightning bug tonight! I love those guys. They seem like they are very Zen bugs.

                      It got to 102F in NYC the last couple of days. We do have an A/C for the bedroom but we put it in storage for the cold months. Drinking plenty of water. The climate control system under the piano does its thing well. I dare not go out to ride my bike till the temperature drops.
