already 100-F here, and a month early.

We're already hitting triple digit heat index because of latent heat. Abilene was an actual 106-F yesterday. Our 'swamp' air adds about an extra 6-degrees feel to the dry-bulb temp.
The next 10-days will be 'near-record' or 'record' temps.
Typically, it would be 'mild' right now, and electric providers would be taking plants offline for scheduled annual maintenance. Not going to happen now.
India's inside an estimated, 600-day, 120-F heat wave, which started in March. Compared to 413-days last time. Millions there have no electricity.
Glad to have my massive 5,500-Btu home unit.
