They must be grateful for the low humidity but the intermittent nature
of the reports ATM makes me wonder of they're all too knackered to
bother. It might deter the Yanks from invading the place.

Hi, Tudor,
I see Death Valley was 121F max and 99F min yeterday. Peaked at 127F
max and 100F min on 9th. Now that's a scorcher!!

I was stationed at Habbaniya, Iraq, in 1953( doing my National Service!) and
the temperature regularly reached 115-120F in July. Incredibly, we played
cricket for a couple of hours in the afternoons and I remember that the
water temperature in the camp's swimming pool was around 30c in July.
