Slight cooling mid June likely

If temperatures are a bit uncomfortable for you at the moment, you might consider yourself lucky that  you are not living in India, where over 400 people have died because of the extreme heat there (118°F (48°C) ).    Things should begin to cool down slightly,  locally, during the second week of June.  It's hard to predict weather weeks in the future with any degree of accuracy, but indications at the moment point to a somewhat dry month with the occasional here and there rainstorms.    A indication of past temperatures can be seen in my electrical bills, with most of my electrical use from the air conditioner and pool pump  Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 2013 ? ? ? 4,515 ? 3,334 3,343 ? 3,046 2,691 2,351 1,925 2014 1,978 1,750 3,092 3,625 4,174 5,422 1,745 2,769 2,689 2,833 2,254 2015 1,789 1,699 ? 3,479 5,153

3 -1 Loss Still better than expected

4:33 pm 4:35 PM 4:56 PM 5:58 PM Winds arriving from the south-southwest Referee made a number of very bad calls.  The most obvious resulted in a serious injury. The player was limping for the remainder of the game. He should have been replaced with a fresh player. Attendance was very obviously down, but es·prit de corps was high  Click on image to see more football Fanatics Opinion: Over the years I had on a number of occasions mentioned that I noticed improvement in the team. Similarly so this time.  Unfortunately in the past improvements were followed by player departures and team reshuffling.  If they can keep their team intact and continue improving skills, we may see a better second half season. Even though the team has suffered many losses, the action during the game is still a big draw for me
