It's really hot for Boise

[Jim Franklin]

We have hit 100 for the first time this year this afternoon according to the 5 PM news. Temperature in Burns, OR to our west is 76 so a cool front is moving this way which given the difference in a short distance could likely mean turbulent weather tonight. Severe storm warning announcement at 6:30 PM to cover 6:32 to 7:15 PM. Wind got up but nothing really severe now at 7:30. Watch out east of the Rockies.

Well, it's still tolerable in Phoenix, but definitely don't have to worry about getting cold at that temp :p ... and it's maybe even cool in Death Valley, California. :basic05 [just feeling ornery tonight, I guess ;)]

I had to go down the hill today to get tires for one of our cars. It was 110%At 7:00 p.m. it had only dropped to 106 %. I was glad to come back up to much cooler temperatures.

I talked to my sister tonight, who lives in Nampa. She walked all night in a Relay For Life fundraising event for the American Cancer Society, and slept much of the day today. When she woke up she felt guilty about not working in her garden, but once outside she didn't feel so guilty. It was too hot to work outside anyway. :) She was going to mow her lawn tonight. Around there it's not unusual for people to mow their lawns at 9 or 10 at night. :)

Glenda, every time I see one of your posts, if I happen to look at the address, I can just see that Lake up there. You live in such an idyllic location, girl! :rolleyes: :p :cool: [jealous!]

Charlene, living on the western edge of a time zone is one of the beauties of this time of summer. The sun does not set until about 9:30 so there is still adequate light to mow lawns until 10 PM or after. Here in Boise it is much lighter later than it would be in Rapid City, South Dakota which is near the eastern edge of the same Mountain Time Zone.

5:11 am sunrise and 10:03 pm sunset here. The advantage of living in the north.

So are you a believer in climate change yet? :basic05

It was not a record high so I do not accept the global warming hocus pocus. I may have posted here before that during the 1968-69 school year while I was pursuing my graduate degree in Geography which included coursework in Weather and Climate we were warned of a coming Ice Age for the very same reasons that are now advanced for Global Warming. Climates may change over a period of several hundred or thousands years but not in 40. Any warming is due to the fact that we are still on the upswing from the last Ice Age and even as old as I am do not remember that and neither did my dad. Al Gore is a charletan
