Its been hot. I hate to keep mentioning the weather but it has such an impact on our mission and our daily lives that I have to share it with you. Yeah, it’s hot in the desert in the summer. Duh, got it. But how hot does it get? You can see from the photo, how hot. This picture was taken at our back porch thermometer. Not exactly scientifically calibrated but in the shade it is 120 F at about 1pm.
We are routinely having days where it gets over 120F. This day was 122. Everyday gets 115 or hotter now. August is typically the hottest month where we expect temps of 130 +.
On a windy day it actually feels hotter. The heat index is over 130 now. The Air Force’s instruments still call it ‘Wind Chill Factor’ but that’s too ridiculous to write down so we just use Heat Index. Imagine standing in front of a huge hair dryer. That’s how it feels. There is no rain. The dust blows about 4 days out of 7. It sucks but it’s our Tallil. Drink water.
