It’s Getting To Be Chili Pepper Hot Here

It's A Nightmare

Last night about midnight I went out to check the water levels in the ponds. I suppose I was outside for about 15 minutes. As I sat down the sweat was forming on my body.

This is remarkable for one simple reason: for most of the last 20+ years the temperature has fallen to near 22C. at night. Now it seems to be staying a lot closer to the daytime high, and that’s getting higher. Which is why I was checking the water level in the ponds. It’s hotter and drier than it historically has been and we’re living through a drought.
