Cooling Off

Posted by Dale @ 10:41 am Baghdad Time in Deployment

It’s starting to cool off a little here in Mosul. The highs lately have been around 110 F (43 C). At night it is getting down to about 80 F (27 C). Earlier this week, however, it seemed quite hot. When I took a look at our thermometer, this is what I saw:

But it’s a dry heat!

    Dale,
    have you tampered with that thermometer by chance?

    I wish I had altered the thermometer! At that time, the air temperature was probably around 125 F. The thermometer is reading higher based on the heat coming off the metal trailer to which it’s attached.

    Dale,
    I didn’t think I would ever think it was cool in St Louis. Tomorrow is move-in day for the freshmen at Wash U and it is ‘only’ going to be 100.
