(PHOTO: Our thermometer inside the backyard porch. It was 98F at 11 a.m. - we passed the 100 mark! In fact: Today is the first triple-digit June day in Baltimore in over 16 years!!)
Summer is already in high gear, with late July temperatures in mid-late June. The mid-Atlantic is roasting under high pressure and high humidity.
DOG WALKS AND EXTREME HEAT- I walk the dogs in the early mornings (yes, the 6 am hour) because temperatures are in the 70s and asphalt is cool from the overnight hours. ***NOTE: ASPHALT in the heat of the day will BURN the skin on their paws.** DON'T WALK YOUR DOG ON PAVEMENT DURING THE DAY - Think about how YOU would feel barefoot!! Below is the weather
