Too hot to walk barefoot on my wood deck, 98 yesterday, last night was nice
72 for the low and I slept well without the air running and windows open
during the night. Today expected to have a high around 93 Fahrenheit.

It is 94 in my kitchen. The outside temp in the shade is 101. The deck
back planks register between 137 and 146 with an IR thermometer.

We are going out for dinner, To hell with it.

Where I live, the average of daily highs for July over the past 6 years
is 93°F. The same is true for August. September is "only" 90°F. These
are actual temperatures without any adjustments for humidity.
Fortunately, the averages of night-time lows is about 30°F lower than
the day-time highs.

No, I don't live in the desert. The National Weather Service classifies
my climate as coastal valley.
