degringolade

It only made it to 39.8.

I do appreciate my little cave. It is a lower floor apartment, built kinda like a daylight basement. The rear of the apartment is well below the street level on that side and the front of the apartment is shaded until after two in the afternoon. So on hot days like yesterday, I monitor my spiffy little indoor/outdoor thermometer (barometer and humidity included) and when the outdoor temp equals the inside temp, I close all the windows and close the curtains. The indoor temp stays, at worst, in the low 80's and is at least twenty degrees below the temperature high for the day.

Yesterday, when the temp hit 104 F outside, my place was at 80 inside. I can assure you that when I got back inside, that differential was quite noticeable.

I think that you can live with this level of heat and even higher. You just have to change your lifestyle to deal with it. I remember hauling hay in August. I remember two a day football practices in August in Utah. I suppose that I act like an old geezer when I say "suck it up" but really, that is it.
