About two hours ago my home weather station measured the highest temperature of the year: 103.1 degrees F. This is shy of the highest I’ve ever seen, which was 104.1 degrees F from last summer.
My station’s temperature sensor is out of direct sunlight but is close to the brick foundation of the south side of my house. I wonder sometimes if the hot brick skews the temperature to the high side. If I wanted to be a stickler about it, I could build a Stevenson screen but I’m not that concerned with accuracy!
Yet, anyway. Heh.
