"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." I mean, the "feels like" temps they include in weather reports now.

Going to be "feeling like" 100 F this weekend in my state.

It was better thinking that the temp was only 90's or even high 80's with high humidity, back in the day...

but i was in the mountains hiking at altitude where it was 87 degrees. Came home and a lot of my plants were scorched and desperate for water. They perked up in the evening once it was below 100! Right after I watered I jumped in the pool and laid out to get some sun -- literally dried off in 10 minutes. Summer is here early.
