It's hot today, I mean HOT! "Oh, pshaw!" I hear you scoff, "You people up there in your little green paradise don't know what hot is!" Don't believe me, just ask.
"Okay, I'll bite. How hot was it?"
It was hot, okay? Record-crushingly hot, not just the hottest day of the year, not just the highest recorded temperature for this date, but the hottest day EVER RECORDED in these parts since geeks with thermometers started recording temperatures around here about 118 years ago.
103 degrees Fahrenheit, to be precise.
That's pretty darned hot, by anyone's standards; just to put it into context, that's roughly 25 degrees hotter than the average this time of year.
And we're being told to expect more of the same tomorrow, another day in triple-digits, before it starts "cooling down" into the 90's and upper 80's for the weekend, where it will apparently remain for some time.
I never thought I'd say this, but being in Chicago next week is going to be an actual relief.
