I went to an outdoor picnic and concert tonight. The Westwinds Brass Band http://westwindsbrassband.org/concerts.php had their weekly concert at Wagner Park. The temperature was over a hundred. I planned to meet a friend an hour or so before the concert for a picnic and chat. We had seats in the shade, and cold water, and misting fans to help ameliorate the effects of the heat.
Sometimes, the wind blew cool, sometimes very hot. There was a decent crowd at the concert, given the heat. The misting fans really did help. Most amazingly, it is only a few nights after the longest day of the year, and it is already starting to get dark by 9:30 PM. But, not cool. Yet.
It does not cool off very early in the evening. We have had some summers like this before. But this is a very concerning trend.
