Heard on the Weather Channel this morning that Death Valley is close to breaking the all-time high for North America (which is 134 F). The heat is around; the weather pattern just isn't bringing it here.

Seems all we need for a good swim in the lake is humidity though (see water temp thread.) The humidity this summer has been very low around here, only a handful of days with dewpoints in the 60s (muggy) and hasn't reached 70 yet (oppressive humidity.) Last summer we had a 79-degree dewpoint one day (Gulf Coast humidity.)

Dewpoint is in the 60s today after being in the 40s (autumn-like dryness) the last several days. In response the water temp has risen 3 degrees since last night and still rising. Probe is 3 feet down, at the end of the dock. The readings are on the Black Cat WeatherCam site and self-update every 15 minutes, if you want to follow it.
