At 10 AM the thermostat in my bedroom read 88 degrees.
According to my car thermometer, which is usually accurate within one degree, it's 97 in Sagamore, 98 in Bourne Scenic Park, and 97 in downtown Buzzards Bay.
Let me tell you---I really have to rack my brain to come up with the last time it bordered on 100 along the Canal. Normally, mid-80s with a nice SW sea breeze on these high humidity days is as bad as it gets.
This was not a day to pull a clam rake, and I didn't even try. Even standing waist deep in 76 degree water, it would have been miserable. Plus the last time I quahogged, the water was full of big reddish jellyfish with tentacles over a foot long, and a couple of people digging in bathing suits got stung. Nope, not a day for waders, even breatheables
