It's been hot.It's been very hot.
Arriving in Chicago three weeks ago, it was unseasonably hot. The night before I left it broke with thunderstorms and as I left it was significantly cooler. However, as I drove towards Springfield, Il it started to warm up again and basically stayed like that for the three weeks. Generally temperatures were above 90F, and fairly regularly got into triple digits. Hottest was the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas, at around 110F. On the coast here in Santa Monica is perhaps the most pleasant it has been (however, go a few miles inland and it will soon heat up).
The other regular aspect has been wind, particularly crossing Texas and New Mexico. Whilst sometimes it has given relief, sometimes it has just added to the heat.
However, better than being wet and miserable (and quite lucky given there have been floods, wild fires, tornadoes etc elsewhere in the USA), and I think I have picked up a little bit of a tan!
