Okay, given that my sensor is in a Stevenson Shield, in my backyard, fronting (backing?) onto the Gila River Reservation; yard and reservation pretty bereft of vegetation… I just hit 120F, 48.9C. Bit of a breeze -1-3 mph, no clouds…
NOAA Has broadcast an “extreme Heat Warning” for today, with expected highs around 122F, 49.5C, for most of the Sonoran Desert Area in Arizona, part of SE California (desert) and northern Mexico.
50C, 124F is halfway to boiling water! Seriously considering trying to cook an egg outside right now…
