The heat wave is a direct effect of Pat's partying with all those Venusians.

We set a new record for the day on Sunday, with a max temp of 106 F.
Our former record high was 102 F., set way back in 1929.
But due to the ongoing drought, it's a dry heat. ;-)

While in Las Vegas some years ago we were taking the shuttle bus from
the airport to the hotel. It was hot. Some older woman heard people
complaining and spoke up like some camp counseler and said, "but its a
dry heat". Where-upon the driver (obviously having heard this a
brazilian times) turned to the lady and said out loud, "yeah, and you
cook your roast beef in dry heat too, don't ya?". I even have a hat
now that says "but its a dry heat".........................Doc

It does make a major difference in how hot it feels though. Even on the
106 F. day the low humidity made it feel more like the high 80's due to
how well one's sweat cooling could work. On the other hand there's a
hidden danger associated with the high heat/low humidity- your sweat
cooling can work so well that you can dehydrate in no time flat without
realizing it.

So true, we go to AZ often , and invariably somebody we go with doesn't
tank up.during the day, We tell them to ignore the sweat stains (being
from the NE), and just drink (imagine being ordered) because later in
the day it will catch you and perhaps badly It's a real easy thing to
do Still wear my hat tho'...........Doc

This is one thing I think being a diabetic helped- because I am already
susceptible to dehydration, I drink like a fish.

Not that I would recommend becoming a diabetic to beat the heat.

Yours truly is also diabetic- watch out for that...drinking too much
water is a sure sign that your sugar intake is too high, and your body
is trying to wash it out via excessive water input and urination.

My hyperhydration is by choice, and probably helps to flush out the excess
sugar. I try to be careful to avoid hyponatremia because of my drinking
pattern. With modern processed foods, that's highly unlikely.
