The crazy thing is that we aren't even expecting weather that hot. Our highs for most of the next week or so are around 90 with a day or two getting up to 93 or 94. Our hottest temp so far this summer has been 97, I believe.
These sorts of wild temps at extremes always shock me.

Russia’s state weather authority said on Tuesday a remote town in northeastern Siberia had registered a record high temperature of 38 decrees Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit) during a heat wave that has alarmed climate scientists.
The reading was first reported earlier this month in Verkhoyansk, north of the Arctic circle, prompting the World Meteorological Organization to ask Moscow to confirm the data.
“Verkhoyansk had still been well-known as a Pole of Cold. It recorded a record of -67.8 decrees Celsius at the end of the 1990s. Now it’s 38 degrees,” Vilfand told reporters.

That's an insane different in temperature, especially for someplace within the arctic circle.
