One hundred and sixteen degrees

It's been hot out. It capped off at a hundred, but with the humidity it felt like one sixteen. The thermometer has been in the high 90's for several days.

That's hot for us.

My basement, being complete, is a refuge. There's a solid 25 degree difference between the basement and the bedrooms. I almost feel cold down here.

The humidity is oppressive. I can't swim, never really could. Going from my house to the car required flotation devices.

And then it rained today. The kind of rain that happens when air that's entirely too hot consumes an insane amount of water, then gets pushed upward rapidly by an encroaching cold front.

I couldn't see the end of my car on the drive home, the rain was so heavy.
