Hot Summer Sky

We have been hit with triple digit temperatures that started last Friday!
Todays forecast is calling for 107!
It's DAMN HOT!
It's a stifling, take your breath away kind of heat!
 I know it's hot pretty much everyplace in the western states at the moment.
Usually we get triple digit temps closer to the end of July and into August.
Just seems kind of early in the season to be this hot.
 
The heat takes its toll on everything!
The critters, the land, the people!
Even the sky changes with such high temperatures!
 
Earlier last week, the sky looked like a welcoming, cloud filled summer sky.
This shot was taken during the early evening last Wednesday and it was 86 degrees.
 This morning, the sky looked down right HOT!
This shot was taken at 8 a.m., and it was already 85 degrees!
 The cows were heading to water early this morning!
Guess it's time to "shade up" and ride this heat wave out!

We have not been a part of the heat wave that is smothering most of the country. Here in Iowa this week it is forecast to be in the high 70s & 80s. I'm lovin' it for the next few days.

Hey there, I'm in perfect understanding with you. You decscribed it to a T! I'm in Arizona and now we have had to major fires within 60 miles of us. The Yarnell Hill fire isn't even a bit contained and already has a cost way too high. I am ready for summer to be over!

We can hope it breaks soon.
