It is starting to look like Sunday through Tuesday will be the first official HEAT WAVE of 2021 !! 🏖 ☀

Last heat wave in Albany was June 20-23, 2020. Had warm days in July and August but no heat waves. You need three 90 degrees consecutive days to have a heat wave.

July 2020 had five 90 plus degrees days but only two were consecutive. August had no 90 degrees days. So no heat waves since June of last year! Maybe it was the cold bias on the thermometer at the airport, or otherwise we would have at least two heat waves in July 2020.

People in Albany in 1963, really could have sung along Martha Reeves about Heat Wave. That was a very hot summer, with three heat waves, one lasting six days, every day in the 90s!

After an hour and half meeting with John Wolcott on the Zoom on the phone while using my phone also as a hotspot with a relatively low battery, my phone is just warm from working so hard
