They predicted today we would hit 100° in the Phoenix area for the first time this year. We've come close a couple of times at 98, but I just checked and it's 99.3°. We just might make it.

This is the latest we've gone before hitting 100° that I can recall in the 11 years I've lived here. Yesterday's record temp was 110° in 2008.

We hit 80 here a few hours ago for the first time this year.

I can't recall if we have hit 80 yet this year. It has been a chilly one for sure.

We are predicted to have 80 degree weather here this weekend. With all the rain we have been having warm temps will be nice. We have not yet got to ride 1000 miles this year. A far cry from just a few years ago when we where riding 3000 miles a month.

Only been in the 80s so far in north Alabama. Don't think we hit 100 last year at all. This year will probably make it to the 100 degree mark though.

All this Global Warming is responsible...Just wait till the Govt starts on Global Cooling.

That's doing better than me. I have put on less than 20 miles so far. It has been way to muddy on the road to the highway to think about that.

i'm watching it snow on the mountains this morning. High will be 50, normally in the 70's.

It was officially 101° degrees here on Friday. Yesterday (Sunday) it never got out of the 70's. Today it may hit 80, if we're lucky. It was snowing in Flagstaff yesterday. It's been a strange spring for sure.

I'll trade ya. Sustained winds of 50 mph with gusts over 60 right now. The east-west highways have been closed to truck traffic.

20-40 winds here all weekend. Upper 50s on Sunday with snow in the mountains. The western range was all snow capped on the way to work this morning. Most of it burned off by the time I rode home, except for Mt. Charleston. Still about 10' up there. So far this is the windiest May on record.

Haven't seen a 100 yet either. Another anomaly. Hope it warms up a little bit before we head to Cortez. Don't really care to ride through snow in the mountain passes.

I'll ride through snow, as long as it's on the side of the highway.

We had some awful winds here over the weekend. Not in Phoenix, but up on I-40 east of Flagstaff, where it's almost always windy. They closed I-40 in both directions for several hours and the railroad even stopped running due to the high winds.
