Vintage 2020: Summer Heat Waves

I don't recall a summer where we have had so many heat waves. The first heat wave to hit us came in June. We are now into our fourth heat wave of the year.
  • June 20 -24
  • July 11 - 13
  • July 18 - 23
  • July 25 -
Here is a photo taken on July 20th indicating the feel-like temperatures. Even at 4:34 when this screen shot was taken, the feel-like temperature was at 99 degrees. We typically go to the vineyard for two shifts, one in the early morning and the second shift in the late afternoon, but temperatures approaching 100 degrees at 4:30 had us seeking refuge in an air conditioned room.
Today, however, we are back to "normal", with humidity at 46%, 82o feels like 84o. Today will be a two shifter!
