Hot? Not here

The warmest it has been during the past five days in Albuquerque is just 84º (it’s only 68º at Casa NewMexiKen late Tuesday morning, though the humidity is 98%). The high temperature so far this summer is 98º (twice in June, once in July).

The inch-plus of rain (officially) yesterday took the July total to 3.55 inches. Droughts are long-term and depend more on snow-pack than anything, so a few inches of rain doesn’t change much, but it sure is nice.

[Update: It was the wettest July here in 75 years of official record-keeping.]
