The Heat Index

The heat index
is somewhere
between OMG & WTF.

This heat wave has been brutal. It is set to exceed 10 days in a row over 100 degrees. Everyone is cranky. Everything is wilted. The birds aren’t singing. And California is experiencing new wildfires and evacuations.

I took a photo of my Apple Watch showing 117 degrees when I was in Folsom! That is a photo of the silhouette of Katniss on my watch. Nice on Black.

I dropped off my laptop for repair. It is difficult to see photos, edit photos and post to 365 without it.
Our heatwave has broken, we're getting downpours but the drought is still with us. I feel a bit of a twit watering my garden with what I've collected from the shower or washing up, after it's been raining!!

Electric cars are still reliant on fossil fuels, where's the electricity being generated (unless it's nuclear power!)?

Hang on in there CC and this is a fabulous composite

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you, Jackie. We save rinse water from the sink and water from the shower, when waiting for warm water. It isn’t enough. I am feeling cranky from the relentless heat. :)
I deleted my commentary.

You certainly made your point clear in this collage! I lived in Tucson during high school and I don't remember it ever getting that hot! And "wilted" implies some humidity as well? Dreadful! It certainly makes us appreciate the firemen in the summer months! (Do I recognize that photo of Katniss?)

@Weezilou Yes, you do, Louise! That is a favorite photo of mine that you edited! I am so glad you checked in and saw it❤️
No…it isn’t humid (very dry heat) here but the poor hydrangeas are drooping and gasping for cooler air! I think fall is really fire season in northern CA with hot dry heat and add to that hot wind…Sept, Oct and November. :) Terrible!

Great composite. It is also dry and hot in our country. But the nights are already cold and give you a break.

I don't know, seems it is between WTF and WTLF to me (seriously broken world)

Phew you must be melting.

@Weezilou Definitely! Any time!

Great composite to illustrate the heat. That's way too hot. I hope you get some relief soon.

@haskar We like it when we can turn off the AC and turn on the whole house fan to bring in the overnight cool air. However, it has been too warm overnight to be able to do that for the last several nights. :(

A creative composition! This sure screams HOT!!! I can't imagine! How are Katniss and Sophie Belle managing?
