It’s only noon. Hartford’s Brainard Airport has reached 100°. Bradley Airport is reporting 99°, two degrees short of the record for July 22nd. The temperature will continue to rise for the next few hours. That record will surely fall.
Uncomfortable? Sure. It’s still better than shoveling, plowing and driving in snow!
