My pictures were taken on July 4, 2012. We received a much needed rain
that day, which made the sky overcast.
June was HOT. It was the 5th hottest June on record. The high
temperature reached the triple digits (100°F+) for 28 of the 30 days
in June. This tied a record for the most triple digit temperatures. Since 100°F converts to 37.8°C, I decided to put my brain into Celsius mode to
survive the heat. Psychologically 40.6°C doesn’t seem as hot at
105°F. We still recorded 11 days of the month over 40.6°C.
