Talk about temperature fluctuation !

by Mac McMullen Jul 14, 2007 7:16AM PDT

On July 14, 1958, this little town of Tularosa, NM, saw daytime high of 106 "F/41 "C
and night time low of 57 "F/13 "C.

We should see something in the high 80's F today, and mid 60's F tonight.

That mid-60's sounds good to me!

What surprised me was hearing the other day that the northwest had triple digit highs.

Could be a difference in how clear was

then versus now. I'm can't know what your area is like but the time I spent at Dyess in Abiline Tx. in the early '70 had some blue skies that, to an Ohio boy, looked almost black and the sun on your skin was hot like the inside of an oven... but nary a drop of sweat...because there was no humidity at all. Nights had the biggest show of star shine I'd ever seen and the temperature dropped like a rock after the sun went down. The weatherman here says that clouds and haze keep the warm air on the ground at night. He's got a meteorological degree and I don't. Maybe over the years the sky there has taken on a haze that's happened too slowly to notice.
