Heat

Hottest Day

We know that the summer weather back in Roanoke has gotten hot. Seems like the hottest temperatures of the year will be with that region for quite a few days, mid-90s and high humidity. Well, relatively speaking, it has gotten hot here too.

Mike was out hill walking for the day with a friend on the hottest day of the year here; just take a look at his red face in the photo. The treeless route they took on a cloud free and windless day involved many miles and 2,500 feet of elevation gain. He said that the two of them really struggled. The good news is that they did manage a pub stop at the end; funny how that worked out. Oh, by the way, it was 80 degrees.
