hot, no shade88°F

Warm even before the light, the air near 78°F in the small hours and dry as paper. Dawn brought a brief softness and then the sun went to work. Some cloud gathered around midday and broke the glare for a while, a stiff breeze with it. The peak came in mid-afternoon near 89°. The cloud thinned again toward evening and the heat let go slowly, still hot at bedtime under a clear sky.
