"a long HOT summer" - Thanks, now I have Jimi Hendrix playing in my mind (not a bad thing!).
They issued heat warnings for this week in Southern California. It's only forecasted to get to the mid-90s; hot for this time of year, which I guess explains why they would issue one. Mid-90s does not strike me as that bad. Just have to stay hydrated.
AZ temps are another story, I don't envy you folks.
