I had to laugh when I went to write this post and saw last week's title of "Welcomed warmth". How quickly it changed! Oppressive heat is the term the meteorologist were using in the forecast and I can not think of a better description. While we always expect a heat wave in September we have not experienced those kinds of temperatures here before.
