gack... and it's only March.

i spent one summer working in PHX when there were 21 days in July over 100F/37C, many over 120F/48C. wouldn't even go below 100F/37C until 3am for a few hours. but that was July, not March. insane...

@paul_ipv6 @ai6yr @BakerRL75 that swift jump caught people off guard. We haven’t acclimated. Had folks heat exhausting here because our high jumped 20F in a single day.

@paul_ipv6 @ai6yr @BakerRL75 Came here to comment "it's only March" as well. Here in OKC, we're still doing okay, especially with the cool front that moved in this afternoon. But the high this week was already in the 90s. It's too early for this.
