Our warmest day was Monday, with a high of 37 C. The dry rocky terrain soaks up the heat all day and then slowly releases it at night. The evenings do not cool down much. At 11 pm it is still 28C and at 7 am it is already 25 C. So, one either becomes acclimatized or one melts or one sits in front of the air conditioner.
This thunder head in the east was the only cloud in the sky picking up the sunset. Later that night we saw lightening flashes behind that ridge.
We went for a two mile walk on one of those hot evenings and were treated to a great sunset. As we walked through the countryside, we were surprised at the hot and cool pockets of air trapped in the low spots.
This scene really reminded me of our time in the Arizona desert a few years ago.
We spent many a hot night out on the deck where the bugs were not so bad and we had a ringside seat to the rising moon and its glorious reflection. When we got home on Saturday evening, we were surprised that it was just as hot here, but the cool night air gave us the best night's sleep we had all week.
