It's already really hot here, can't wait to see what July and August bring.

Lots of new ac units as people move and build more housing, so I expect the numbers will continue to rise.

We had our power go out briefly Sunday night, with some lows at 80 and highs in the 100s an extended outrage would just be brutal

111f south of SA on Friday. Next Tuesday looking at 114. Broke a record yesterday. Probably keep breaking records all month.

Totally fine nothing to see here....

Brutal, was in the upper deck of Minute Maid last night and it felt like even the AC couldn't keep up, was very uncomfortable
