re: 1980 Summer Heatwave

We are having something similar here in Boise. We haven't been under 90 since the 16th of June and I don't think we are getting any reprieve until the middle of August.

Something like 80% of our days in the past 3-4 weeks have been over 100.

Make no mistake, it's fricking hot here. And it's miserable. It's not hot like 98 degrees with strong humidity, but it's hot in a different way. As opposed to feeling like you're being smothered, you feel like you're being baked. Not worse, just different.
