hot, no shade87°F

Warm through the small hours, the air near 75°F and still under a clear sky. Dawn was soft. Then the sun took hold and by early afternoon it was near 87°, a dry heat that bounced off stone and made the shade worth crossing the street for. A light breeze came off the west in the afternoon. Evening let go slowly and the air was still near 78° at midnight.
