     It's not that great a surprise, as the climate scientists have been 
telling us for some time that the American southwest is very likely going to be 
the first area to suffer significant impacts from global climate change.

     This July was the hottest month on record, and it doesn't stop there.  
We're well on our way to having the hottest summer.  We're setting new 
temperature records weekly, including the most number of mornings at or above 
90F.  Last week we broke the record for the most number of days at or above 
110F (which continues), and today we will break the most number of days at or 
above 115F.  Our average high for this time of year is 104/105F.

    We've only had 0.10" of rain for the "monsoon season" so far, which is way 
below average.  There isn't even any appreciable forecast of moisture for the 
next two weeks, and the season comes to an end in six weeks.  We had an 
opportunity for rain yesterday evening, but when the moisture mass entered into 
the area the high evening temperatures caused it to dissipate rapidly.
