WAY higher discomfort level. When I first got to 29 Palms we didn't even have AC. Our workday during the summer was 0600-1400 and we were gone.


    I remember sitting outside the dry cleaners one day waiting on my ride and looked up. Was 118 and I was in the sun. I decided I was acclimatized.

    It's 6:30 and 97; an hour ago it was 103. Sun can't set fast enough. LOL!

    Ok, this sucks. The thermometer just went up to 103 according to accuweather. It's nearly 7:30.

    95 here. It doesn't cool down at night here like it does in the desert. The humidity clings to the heat and holds it. It might finally cool off here about 2 AM.

    I don't think much of it. The daughter keeping the AC on Jim's sub-zero level bothers me more.

    It doesn't 'cool down' here like in CA, but usually does go down. Tonight though, it's not working. LOL!

    The News informed us it's the last day of Spring. For real. Mostly sunny with a high of 97, heat index 102. I'm not seeing the "Spring" in that.

    A couple days ago was the official start of 'Monsoon season.' I can't wait!

    I hear that when in NM. Have NO idea why they call it "monsoon season". Was just rain to me.

    It depends here. We mostly get our moisture from the Gulf. Only occasionally from the West.

    118° in back yard today ... 126° in front yard.

    Pool water is 89°

    Might cool down to 85° tonight.

    Hurry up rain .... I had to fill up water trough for wildlife twice this afternoon. Two young bucks and a doe came through and had a couple of squabbles over the water.

    The birds are hanging on the window screens trying to get close to the cool windows.
