In despair because my son decided to turn on the AC today is the day we had to turn it on because today is the first 100° day unfortunately every single year it gets earlier and earlier we have to turn on the AC. I was really happy that we did good just opening the windows and having the fans but today is just horrible and we realize that even though last year it was April 15 to turn on the AC now it is April 10 and that is stretching it.#Phoenix #Arizona #AC

I’m also having a rough time from the medication infusion yesterday. I was told a side effect could be much more joint pain. Oh my yes. So I can’t stand at present but does make it to my cardiologist at 8:15. Unfortunately I scalded my left hand from boiling percolator coffee today. I was just going to pour the extra in the thermos for tomorrow. Over 1st degree but only partly to second degree burn. Some days are just not great!

Hiked along the slope of the Eastern Mountains of Kyōto (東山), first up to the little-known Himukai Daijingū (日向大神宮), a little Shintō shrine whose grandiose name borrows from the ancient and most-revered Ise Jingū after which its architecture is modeled. Then to the iconic Zen Buddhist temple Nanzenji (南禅寺), and along Philosophy Road (哲学の道) to the Silver Pavilion Ginkakuji (銀閣寺). Then as now there was a shortage of silver, even to the Ashikaga Shōguns, so the pavilion was never gilded, but with its similarlity to the Golden Pavilion Kinkakuji and topped by a phoenix, it is nevertheless charming. Sakura cherry blossoms at their best all along the way, with other spring flowers like magnolia and early-blossoming purple azaleas, made for a long and aesthetically pleasing hike.

Record-challenging heat to build over #Southwest, including over 100 F in #Phoenix

Temperatures will reach triple digits over part of the interior Southwest into this weekend, and dry air paired with the heat will rise the risk of #wildfires.

By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist

Excerpt:
"Temperatures will run 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit above historical averages at the peak, with records challenged. Factoring in April sunshine, which is equivalent to sunshine in August, AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures can spike to 10 degrees or more above the actual temperature during the day.

"'Phoenix is likely to experience its first 100 F or higher reading of the year on Thursday,' Zehr said, 'Friday and Saturday may also top 100.'

"The average date for the first 100 is May 2 at Phoenix. The earliest date was March 26, 1988."
