Thanks for the earlier "... April 1" thread, JasperDale.

News media informed us that temps reached 99 degrees today. Uh, puleeeease ... . It was 108 degrees over my patio at 4 p.m. Much concrete in direct sunlight, I must confess, but I don't typically register 9-10 degrees warmer than the City temps. Eeeekk! 108 degrees!? On April 16?

Pic is one of Sally Holmes' bouquets a bit overcooked. But aren't her bouquets stunning? Imagine dozens of these bouquets on a single climber, reaching easily 10-12 feet high.

Tomorrow is expected to reach 104 in the City. It oughta be 113 on my patio, then?! Uh, I think not! But, 104 degrees on April 17?!?!!

What's happening elsewhere?
