Damn!

Here’s what I saw through the window yesterday afternoon.

This thermometer was close to the house and exposed to a good bit of sunlight.  The “official” high yesterday was 99F – still quite hot for the beginning of June.

I do wonder, though, who decided how to describe the temperatures on this particular thermometer?  “NORMAL” is 58F to 88F.  There’s no “HOT”, but anything higher than 88F is “VERY HOT”.

Me, I think I’d label anything over 100F or so as “JUST STAY INSIDE”.

    Obviously it was a southerner. 50-60 is cold?

    120-140 is still Very hot?

    Um. If it even gets close to 120 in Charleston, there is not a chance in hell you’ll find me outside.

    You can’t see if because of the vine, but this particular thermometer also considers a temperature of -40F to be merely “VERY COLD” – the same description as +32F gets.
