Where I live (70 of the last 75 years) the statistical norm has been 3 - 5 days a year where it reaches LOW triple digits. Highest day I recall was 104. Generally those days will fall in the Dog Days, mid July to mid August.

I’ve seen a couple of years with over a week of such days, and a few years where it never got over 99. I think last year was “cool” that way.

Even so, it’s only 96 today…so, meh.

A balmy 68 here, cool breeze out of yer north.
