hot, no shade87°F

Cool and damp before the light, the air near 63°F and wet enough to bead on car roofs. Not a cloud. The sun climbed into a clean sky and the day warmed quickly, near 87° by 2pm. The air dried out as it heated. A breeze from the south picked up through the afternoon and took a little of the edge off. Evening cooled slowly under the same empty sky.
