Agree.
My wife played tennis yesterday too, 10:00 AM. She plays in a group every Monday and Thursday. Yesterday, warm but not overpoweringly so. While she was gone I cut the lawn, trimmed the hedges, edged, etc. She got home (early afternoon) and the outside temp read something like 98 degrees. She said we were in a "heat advisory".
I wonder: if we had known that BEFORE we did our respective outdoor things, would we have felt hotter?
