The Heat is HERE! Or is it?

This summer thing keeps coming up, year in and year out.  I guess it can’t be avoided in climes this far above the equator, so I either have to move to Alaska, or deal with summer.  Here in Utah, we live in a desert.  Sure it has been irrigated and settled to have trees and reduce the appearance of a desert, it is still technically a desert.  That means in the summer, temperatures are routinely in the upper 90’s or low 100’s.

Usually that is not bad, it is as they say a dry heat.  Humidity is usually around 20%.  This late spring, early summer the temperatures have been all over the place.  One day it hit 95, the next barely made 74.  It was upper 80’s for 6 days and today as I write this at noon, it is just over 70.

 

I am confused really.  Usually it gets hot here and stays that way instead of jumping all over the thermometer.  I don’t know what to make of this.  Maybe it is global warming….well probably not.  What do you guys think about summer.  is it a good thing or a bad thing?  Hot or not?  What is your choice?  Personally I like it cooler.  And I am not going back to Florida anytime soon.
