For some reason, I feel compelled to write about heat this week, possibly due to its being unseasonably torrid, hotter than a witch’s … wait, that doesn’t work, does it?

Admittedly it’s officially summer, but this might be the definition of too much, too soon. Mainland high temp records are already melting away.

As to where summer temperatures might go from here, an early heat wave is no more an indicator of things to come than an early deep freeze in winter. (I just wanted to get some cool speak in there as a touch of heat relief.)

This stretch of sizzlyness will likely rachet up surf temps.
