Howdy, Conor! (((hugs))) Good to see you, too!

Well, probably did beat ya. I saw 108 on my drive home (on black asphalt) but “only” 202 here at the house. Ugh!

I imagine your humidity all but made up the difference, though! :)

We rarely get a gentle rain here in coastal Georgia. When it rains, it comes down in sheets.

We topped out in the 90's this afternoon - 95% humidity. Late afternoon a line of storms came through and lowered the temps by about 20 degrees.

I’d LOVE a nice late-afternoon storm that would drop some measurable moisture here...and glad you had some! Especially since it cooled things off!
