Hot through the dark, the air near 90°F at midnight and barely cooler before dawn. The sun rose into a clear sky and the heat came fast. By noon it felt near 107° with a hot wind gusting hard, and it stayed there through the whole afternoon, the air so dry the skin tightened. Then it broke. In the early evening the heat gave way all at once, near 94° by 8pm and near 74° by midnight.
