Ah, well. We knew it was coming. This IS New Mexico, after all. And I don't mind it... generally speaking... coz it really IS a "dry heat." I should qualify that to say just as long as the wind stays at a manageable level and we can keep our awning down. The shade really does make a difference, especially during Happy Hour.

Aiiieee
Well... it was fun while it lasted... "fun" being defined as delaying the onset of the air conditioning season. It looks like all that will go by the boards tomorrow or the next day... but MOST definitely on Thursday.

An oven makes "dry heat," too. Hot is hot, and 100 is HOT! Yikes! It's just early May!
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, we were in Tuscon in May a few years back and the tv weather guys were ballyhooing the "breaking of the ice" -- the first day the temp exceeded 100.
Hang in there!
I don't believe we are going to make today's high, do you? I'm dreading Thursday. I'm slated to help with kindergarten field trip to the Big(ger) town zoo that day. Bring on the sunscreen.
ReplyDeleteMoogie: Having experienced both dry heat and high-humidity heat (Southeast Asia and your part of the world comes to mind), I MUCH prefer our variety. There IS a difference!
ReplyDeleteJenny: We *might* make it. I'm just in from running the day's errands and it's warmed up considerably from this morning. While 77 might be a bit of a stretch, 72 or so is definitely do-able!
This past weekend and today have actually been sweater weather here. No need to even open the windows; it has been that cool. It is suppose to warm up this week - maybe open window weather. Pretty crazy spring!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Lou. I've run the furnace the last three nights and most definitely had something other than shorts and a tee shirt on this morning. It was something like 46 out when I got up today. All that is going bye-bye beginning tomorrow, tho.
ReplyDeleteBummer, Buck!
ReplyDeleteLike you, when I find it necessary to be exposed to heat, I'll take the dry heat anyday. 100F in the desert has nothing on 100F in such garden spots as Guam or the Philippines.
My favorite "dry heat" line halfway through this clip:

I take a lot of "heat" when I say things like "dry cold" about MT :)!
ReplyDelete100 is hot, but I'll take 100 in the desert over 70-80 with humidity.
Hope your winds calm for Happy Hour!
Buckskins: Boy-Howdy... do I EVER agree. We've discussed this before, but one of the most miserable two weeks I ever spent in my life, weather-wise, was on Guam.
ReplyDeleteMike: THAT was good, LOL!
Ann: "Dry COLD?" I can see why you'd get grief for that, LOL! I'd be right there needlin' you, too! ;-)
Oh... forgot. We made 77, Jenny. At least according to The WX Channel's web-site... it's 77, as we speak.
ReplyDeleteYea, DRY cold - it doesn't feel as cold as cold with humidity. I get NO respect, but I'll take 10-20 "dry" vs a damp 40 :) ! Kind of a moot point about now, though.
ReplyDeleteHow clever of them to slap a "Cut Energy Costs" ad on the day it's supposed to hit triple digits.
ReplyDeleteNot.
