HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?
113F at Yuma, AZ today was a record for the date by 3 degrees.

It was 119F at Furnace Creek in Death Valley on Thursday. This set a new record for the date, breaking the old record of 118F.

DRY ENOUGH FOR YOU?

No rain fell at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas in May. Not terribly unusual, given that it has happened 7 times before. Their “normal” rainfall in May is only 0.12 inches.

Barstow had no rain in the month, the 13th time that has occurred.

At Needles,CA, same thing. There it has happened 45 times since 1893.

And I was complaining about how brown my grass is getting.
