It was hot with records, but I'm talking all-time record heat. I know BML was pulling 94s and IZG 98s, but IZG can do over 100F with a WNW wind. I'm thinking another 1 SD higher than that.
A lot of the country has experienced some exotic heat during the summer over the last 10-15 years. Last year was the PAC NW. We've missed out on the insane daily anomalies for the most part. We're probably due to pop some 100-105F cherries in this warming climate.
I haven't even hit 70F yet. Soil temps have been down a bit. They're less volatile than air temps so I think a lot of trees use that root zone in determining whether or not it's safe to start breaking buds.
