That is crazy. What would the dewpoint have been?

Dear List Members,

I hope nobody is meteorite hunting in the Mohave this time of year. A small
town called Needles a few minutes down the road from here in Laughlin,
Nevada set a new world temperature record last Monday. The record was for
115 degree rain fall. This blows away the old world record of 109 degrees
set in Saudi Arabia. The air temperature before the rain storm must have
been well over 130 degrees to achieve this feat.


Here is an interesting link:

If you scroll down, you will see an image of the Haboob dust storm that
moved through here on the 11th. This has been one weird Summer with all the
extreme heat, Monsoons and a Haboob.

Speaking of heat, can anybody recommend a personal air-conditioning unit
like the ones race car drivers use? The units that pump ice water through
tubes in a vest. I could sure use one!

Happy Hunting,

Adam
