I am sure Phoenix is worse, but it is still 102° at 1900 hours in NW Tucson.
AKA, another desert summer..................
Not good for easterners or Californians.
106 out near Picture Rocks, though I’m not that confident in the accuracy of this thermometer. Come on, monsoon!
In 2012 Wisconsin had one of her worst droughts ever. And UNRELENTING heat! I had a thermometer on the garage and it was pretty much STUCK at 100 degrees for days on end!
Earlier that Spring Beau had planted 400 Black Spruce seedlings. On July 4th we hauled 800 gallons of water to them, via tractor. It hit 102 degrees! We were able to save 200 of the trees, which was a MIRACLE by ALL measures. That part of our ‘high land’ looks so WONDERFUL now - he planted for wildlife set-aside land. (Land that is not in crop production.)
It truly WAS the only time Wisconsin had ‘dry heat’ so far in my lifetime. ;)
