It hit 100 degrees for the first time this year on April 28, which would seem pretty damn hot — to the rest of the country.
Now it’s 110 degrees, and weather reports forecast a high between 105 and 110 for the foreseeable future, which makes things like black leather car interiors an inconvenience.
The all-time high was on June 26, 1990, when the front page of the East Valley Tribune read, “Valley hits record 122; 3 die.”
Arguably, “too damn hot” is somewhere between 100 and 122, but let’s take a vote on it: how hot is “too damn hot”?
