Running errands this afternoon! It was so gawd damned hot, I could barely touch the paint on my truck! Truck guage showed 120F, but was probably closer to 118F, which is a new daily record.

I unloaded my motorcycle from a trip to the dealer and the clutch and brake levers were so hot I burned my hands. The gel seat wasn't much better.

Normal would be 107, which is acceptable. Once it breeches 112, its pretty damned bad.

I shot these surface temps off the vehicles and concrete. I got one 188F on the plastic trim below headlight of my truck.

We came up to Williams.
Almost 30* cooler in just a 2 hour drive from Havasu.
Even a sprinkle of rain yesterday.
Only 65 this morning

Wow! I'm amazed vehicle interiors can tolerate that amount of heat. We had 102* here and that felt hot. I imagine it was 135* inside my truck.
