Hiding in the shade and under umbrellas. That's how relentlessly hot the sun is right now... hope they stay safe.

You must have missed some posts.

Rough day at South Fork in NB... but people are managing. Heard many lamenting that its not pouring rain and cold.

Which is what made 2023’s sudden winter-to-summer transition so jarring. Shortest spring I’ve ever seen around here. Fall 2022 less so - it was very quick no doubt, but that’s not uncommon in the West with the beginning of inversion season and the collapse of the 4CH. Less so in California, and even here where all the latent heat in the ocean keeps our zonal flow pretty warm into early winter, but the intermountain West tends to collapse from summer to winter very quickly.

Yes... Mars is so hospitable. With its paper thin atmosphere and severe radiation and 300-degree temp swings from day to night.
