It's been up in the 100's this week, the swamp cooler is on every day during the day, but the nights are hot. 

It will be short lived though, and soon we will be back to winter, so I'm not minding the heat.

Published Date: 25 July 2009
FARMERS in an eastern Indian state have asked their unmarried daughters to plough fields naked in a bid to embarrass the weather gods to bring some badly needed monsoon rain.
Witnesses said the naked girls in Bihar state ploughed the fields and chanted ancient hymns after sunset to invoke the gods.

"They (villagers] believe their acts would get the weather gods embarrassed, who in turn would ensure bumper crops by sending rains," Upendra Kumar, a village council official, said. "This is the most trusted social custom in the area and the villagers will continue until it rains heavily."

I'm guessing naked women aren't allowed on POE then.

I would imagine the naked women pleased the weather gods, they should have sent out naked men, that would have brought a storm immediately, I'm sure.
