Well, actually, um, . . . OK I'll confess: The sunlight striking the thermometer directly for an hour or so before this shot was taken might, just might, have artifically increased the reading a degree, or two, or seven, or perhaps about twenty. But the dial does not know the difference. ;-)
We were having that heat and a little higher yet a few weeks ago. I'm sure glad it's over, when you are up in an attic with outside temps like that its 150 and up. YOW! Paul
