98.6 degrees Fahrenheit
Many of you will recognize this as normal human body temperature. It also happens to be the forecast temperature for Wednesday. (That's 37 degrees Celsius to the world outside of America.)
You folks in, say, Phoenix, or Houston, or Washington DC, may say, so what? That's because you probably have air conditioning. We don't. We have screenless windows, a fan and some cold beer. And let's hope that's enough.
When OK's family was visiting, we thought that one weekend might have been the hottest of the year. Well, this past weekend was hotter. And 37 will be the hottest day yet since we've been here. I never thought I'd miss the rain living here, but I miss it now!

So, here's a tip from Phoenix: If it's not too humid, wet and ring out your sheet at night and run the fan. You'll stay really cool, that way. If it's humid, though, it won't be too pleasant. We're into monsoon season here, so the humidity's up (you know, like 41%), and 111 F or so. Good luck with the heat. I hope it doesn't last very long.
At least you won't have a $300 electric bill! I almost fainted.
