We are now a month past the solstice; days are subtly shortening.
Friday’s high temperature came in at an official 95 degrees, our fifth straight day of 90 or above. It was just as hot as Thursday, a day that may have warned us that summer, after providing many a pleasant afternoon here was again up to its old tricks.
On the other hand, summer can flaunt its torments during those long hours, with a punishing severity that sometimes makes us wish the season gone. Our longest days fall around the solstice. Our July days are still long. But they have shortened by 26 minutes, reduced at either end enough for us to notice.
Yet, in the here and now, each day may ask to be considered not as a sign of a trend, but on its own. Thus we note that although both Thursday and Friday shared a 95-degree high, Friday may actually have been less harsh.That is particularly unpleasant for anyone hoping that darkness might offer respite from the worst assaults of summer daylight.
