40 degree swings are surely a sign of that low rh. And with these shorter days I bet the 94 isn't too bad.

That was the high and low over ten days, not one day. Most days have been in the 94/70 range.
Not as bad as 94 in July, but the Heat Index has still been a degree or two on each side of 100 most days this past week.
I almost let the fruit trees die with the hot dry weather. Might have lost one blueberry bush. Did lose a bunch of the orange trees in black pots.

oh...that's bad. Didn't realize that was a 10 day range. Round here we get 40 degree swings late in summer ( 90-50). In times like that it's comfortable most of the day and only feels hot for an hour or two late in the afternoon.

32 degrees has been hit several times so far but not below. I must be in the local banana belt.

It got down to 62F here this morning. Our coolest of the season so far. I slept at the camp. I started off with a blanket and down throw. About 3 o'clock I woke up freezing. Had to dig around and find a sweater and jogging pants to put on. I could have easily used my summertime sleeping bag and not got too warm.

Went backpacking down in the Trinity Alps this week. Camped at 7000' and got 1/8" ice in the water pot. I'm glad I brought my heavy sleeping bag.

Don't forget to sleep with your squeeze on cold night. Sawyer Squeeze that is.

No hard rain, but it has been raining steady since last night. The wind is only blowing 8 mph, but we have had some pretty stiff gusts. But as fast as it's moving, I'm thinking it will settle down pretty quick. At 1335 it's raining, 78F with 96% humidity. Forecast high low of 77/59F with 80% chance of rain today, 10% tonight and 10% tomorrow. 10 day high low of 85/50F with 8 days of possible rain.

How many states have "panhandles"? And no, I don't know the answer. I know Colorado doesn't.

lol. I was raised here, so never really thought of it. But Google tells me. . . . . .nine states. You guys are all right angles and straight lines.
A panhandle, a narrow projection of a larger territory, can be found in the following nine states (from east to west): Connecticut, Maryland, West Virginia, Florida (pictured), Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Idaho and Alaska.

Connecticut has a panhandle? Nebraska's is bogus, it's almost as wide as the rest of the state. Maryland's is 2 miles wide at one point! You panhandle people are squeezed by other states, it must be a little odd, almost like you belong to another state.
