105°F in Santa Rosa, 107°F here. Opened up the house last night to
cool off. The outside temp went to 53°F, the house to 70°F.

The paper says it will be 99°F today, Accuweather.com says 92°F.

The heat didn't seem so bad yesterday, but I'm feeling a little
stunned today. The tomatoes enjoyed the heat. You could almost watch
them redden. Chance of showers on Sunday, go figure.


Here's a question for you, Billy.
Will excessive heat cause tomatoes to go dormant?


No but it can interfere with flowering.
