Another Excessive Heat Warning in Las Vegas

115 degrees

an excessive heat warning

two days in a row

I think the meteorologist said the temperature was pushing 115 degrees today. Yesterday the temperature rose to 113 or 114 degrees, which meant another excessive heat warning in Las Vegas. Any time the temperatures get above 110 degrees, we get excessive heat warnings.

I drove in the excessive heat yesterday and I can testify that it was excruciating. However, I had a chance to do something I don’t often get to do, so I took the opportunity. I’m remaining in the house today and I may stay home tomorrow and go out on Thursday and Friday. According to the meteorologist, there is another excessive heat warning for Wednesday and then we can expect a cool down. I will see how I feel on Wednesday morning.

Excessive heat warning on Friday, June 1, 2012, in Las Vegas

Due to the fact that my Mother remained home and in bed on Thursday, I had to reschedule Thursday activities to Friday and push Friday activities to Monday.

The weather bureau declared an Excessive Heat Warning for Friday; however, I could remain indoors because I had to pick up prescription at Walgreens, pay a bill on the Westside of Las Vegas, and get the bandage on my left leg changed. I will get the bandage changed again next Thursday and I hope the weather is easier to deal with then.

Hot air blowing in

I have no air conditioning in my car, so I try to avoid going out on Excessive Heat Warning days. I was in a good mood when I left the house Friday morning for my first appointment. The longer I drove in the heat, the worse my mood because. After my last stop, which was at Walgreens, I went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch. By the time, I left the restaurant I was in a better mood.

When I finally got home, I made the mortgage payment online and then sit down to read my paper. I fell asleep and I slept until Mom returned home at about 3:15 PM., I did not much accomplished. Today I am playing catch up, but at least I do not have to go outdoors in the heat to catch up.
