Today was supposed to hit 106...

...but it will peter out at 101.

Nice...though a bit too muggy, since its overcast and thunderstorms are scheduled for two days.

Sure the weather constantly changes, but when Arizona gets markedly cooler, you have a good thing going. Remember, the ultimate man-made climate change dream of he 70s was to irrigate the deserts and make them habitable. There was a time when controlling the climate was recognized as progress. As the magnetic poles shift the high pressure systems shift with them and so while some places will warm up, others will cool down. It's nature's way of balancing the planet. That molten iron plasma is an enormous driver of weather no one even thinks about, much less addresses, and right now we are clueless as to what movements it makes or why, we just watch the poles move.

Someday, man will know what's going on externally, measuring waves of solar radiation, and also know whats going on internally, measuring movements of plasma - and they will take this info to combine and accurately predict high pressures, precipitation, ozone holes, tornados & hurricanes and more.
