So I get in my truck to run an errand a bit ago and when I looked up at the built-in thermo-meter, it said 116 degrees.

Wow!

Knowing that it couldn't be that hot, I check weather.com when I got home and found that indeed, it was only 101 degrees.

And, since there is only 24% humidity, we can classify that as a dry heat.

Hot, but not like Africa-hot or anything.
