hot, no shade92°F

Not a cloud, not once. Mild overnight near 72°F, and the sun came up over the polo fields into an empty sky, the air warming fast toward the mid-90s by early afternoon and holding there until nearly five. Dry heat, a light breeze. The evening cooled slowly, near 86° at eight and 80° by midnight, the stars out over the grass.
