Well, we made it.

Just barely, but we made it.

We've had several days with 100+ degree temperatures, air condition units breaking down, hot steering wheels and worse if you have vinyl seats and you're wearing short shorts that I think many of us are over the hottest temperatures. I don't mind it being nice outside but 100+ degree is unnecessary.

Looking ahead over the next couple of weeks of weather, it'll still be warm, but not ridiculously hot.

Looking like highs of around 95 degrees for the next few days.
Then we'll be dropping down to lower 90s for a high for a few days after that.
Starting next week we should have temperatures in the upper 80s for a high with one cloudy day having a high of upper 70s.

Looking forward to it already.

Some people love the warm temperatures, as I do, too, but not so hot that it hurts to breathe.

Give me those meat locker, URM walk-in freezer temperatures any day.

I like those pants and jacket temperatures. I can remove a jacket if it gets too warm.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on what you're planning on, it doesn't look like rain of any kind is expected. I was hoping we'd get some selfishly for my garden as, though it's watered, the heat has done a number on my plants and flowers.

However no rain could also mean you could go bike riding or something without anything being too hot to handle.

LOOK: The most expensive weather and climate disasters in recent decades

Stacker ranked the most expensive climate disasters by the billions since 1980 by the total cost of all damages, adjusted for inflation, based on 2021 data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The list starts with Hurricane Sally, which caused $7.3 billion in damages in 2020, and ends with a devastating 2005 hurricane that caused $170 billion in damage and killed at least 1,833 people.
