The heat yesterday about killed me. Gonna be worse today and tomorrow. Brutal.
Aren't you still working from home....and inside?
Yes, but like most homes in this area, I don't have any kind of air conditioning. The lower level of my tri-level home stays fairly cool, and we've done some practical things like covering the skylights in the main level.
What killed me yesterday was the three hours I spent outside in the heat.
But it will still get warm even in the lower level of the house this afternoon. And the problem is that the humidity insulates, so that the temperature won't drop off much after dark. And dark doesn't come until after 9pm.
In Arizona, the hottest part of the day is early afternoon, and it's dark by 7pm. Here, the hottest part of the day is after 3pm, and there are still five hours or more of sunlight after that. So in a heatwave like this, the warmth essentially accumulates until the wave peaks.
