We're getting a bit of a late start on typical summer temps but now that our monsoon season has officially started, we get the heat and the crazy storms to go along with it. El niño supposedly will make things extreme this year but I'll be surprised if we beat the 119° (48.33c) we hit last summer.
With the monsoons comes super cool dust storms called haboobs. Watching these things roll in and obliterate everything is really cool. Everything gets covered with dust then it usually rains making quite a mess of things.
My outdoor woodshop is fortunately covered so I don't get any direct sunlight until late afternoon but it is still hot AF. I don't really mind it much until it hits about 114° (45.5c).
This week isn't too bad but our humidity and dew point are up. Overnight temps aren't too bad...yet. Still over 100° (37.78) at 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. is totally common in July and August.
And I can't wait for our first haboob of the year
