It is 6 a.m. and the thermometer is registering a lovely 82 degrees.
Yeah, it’s going to be that kind of day.
Actually, it very likely will be record-breaker.
The record high temperature for this date is an even 100 degrees, set back in 1930. That is expected to fall today, with thermometers gushing up to 102.
Saturday we’ll cool off all the way to 99 degrees. We won’t see any substantive relief until Sunday, when we’ll dip back to the mid-90s.
Of course, our pals on TV aren’t content to simply tell us the temperature. That would be too simple.
Instead, they have pounced on the summer version of the wind-chill.
Behold the heat index, or “real feel” temperature. Today that could hit
115 degrees. Can you tell the difference between 102 and 115? We get it.
It’s hot.
Then there are the brave young souls who descended on the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden yesterday for the Vans Warped Tour. They cavorted in the roasting temperatures, at least until some of them needed medical attention.
Sounds like fun, no? Hey, what did you expect from something called the Warped Tour? Sounds exactly like something I would have done when I was a kid.
Now? I’d settle for a chair in the shade. Unless you can get me a decent tee time. Too hot for golf? Get serious.
As my buddy Clint used to say: A man has to know his limitations. When it comes to golf, heat is not a problem.
As for other things, like mowing the grass? Well, it’s clearly too hot for that. What do I look like, Warped or something? Don’t answer that.
Stay cool.
