clear and hot92°F

Warm and wet in the small hours, the air near 77°F and the humidity near the top of what a body can stand. Dawn changed nothing. The sun burned through by mid-morning and the afternoon reached near 92° with cloud drifting over in pieces, the air like a warm towel. A light breeze off the south. Evening eased only a little and the dark stayed close near 83°.
