It seems to be hot everywhere, Steve. According to NOAA, last month was the hottest June on record. Worldwide "This year has had the warmest average temperature for January-June on record - 57.5."
The low temperature last night in Tucson was 86F with relative humidity of 42 % (5:53 a.m.). Right now its only 95 and 28%, with a high expected of 100-103. We really have it easy, however, compared to Phoenix where it's "only" 111F now with 20% humidity - obviously dry (and just like a pizza oven, especially when you get into an automobile). Their low last night was 94F. Tucson is blessed with a higher elevation than Phoenix (2467' compared to 1132'). Phoenix also has a "heat island" effect created by the considerable area that is paved streets and parking lots I spent one month in June, many years ago, at Ft. George Meade, Maryland for special operations training with the Army. During my short stay I took the opportunity to visit in Baltimore and went to Washington, DC one day (climbing the Washington Monument). I distinctly remember that it was quite humid and unpleasant during that month...
