We hit 99 degrees here north of Boston, and it went over 100 in the city and inland. Today it's only in the high 80s. It's not getting the thunderstorms that's the real bummer because stuff is getting very dry. First time I can remember having to put out the grass with water bottles at the fireworks the other night.
A record-setting 102 degrees was recorded at Reading Regional Airport on Tuesday, marking only the 10th time that the mercury has gone that high at an official site in Berks County.
It was also the second day in a row for at least 100 degrees, and that marked only the sixth time for back-to-back 100s.
Another 100 is in the forecast for today. Only one other time has there been back-to-back-to-back 100s: July 2-4, 1966.
Records date to 1898. For most of those years, the measurements were taken in the city. The airport became the official site in 1999.

It's 99 here now, headed for 103 today before it's over.
And yeah, we need the rain too. Grass is all brown and won't be mowed again until we get some.
But there's always cold beer :)

I'd never thought I'd say this, but the lake water is too warm to be refreshing.
We sat around in our wet clothes in front of fans last night

That may be the funniest scene in the history of cinema.
"Oh, what a world, what a world."
LOL
