I feel lucky while reading you all's temps! My yard is about 89-90 but high humidity- yesterday it was approaching 70% at 90 degrees. I'm good with it, I just stand out there and sweat as the sun goes down, watering my trees. I did lose some trees to the first heatwave however, 2 Jamaican cherry's in pots (under a large tree) and my beloved pedali tree...poor guy made it through the winter only to bite it with one insanely hot day. Good luck to everyone. Chris

I moved my cherry tree (4 in 1) inside for a bit and in the last couple days it's seem tremendous recovery. New growth all over the branches. I was worried the heat had fried the ranier graft but it's making a comeback! I think the smoke from the carr fire up here is helping too... unfortunate as it is. The shade's helping alot of my plants that have been struggling with the 110 degree  weather and sun.

Its been hitting 100-102 consistently in last one week or so in my area (corona, ca), got no damage from recent heat wave when I hit 112, 110, 114, 105, 104, etc. triple digits continue, high humidity has helped, mangoes are flushing like crazy.

We have similar temps highest i had was 116 the past week. Mangos too are growing crazy. I hope we get at least 3 -5 flushes more by the end of the year.

This heat has become tiresome. 116 today. Doesn't get below 110 until Monday 8/13. I don't remember it ever being this hot for so long. Can't wait for the typical 104-108 deg days.

Most of the trees are holding up surprisingly well though

That's because your desired temps are now where I live. Same 104 consistent

And Summer is over in the Nth Hemisphere. The southern hemisphere may experience very warm conditions soon also.Predictions for northern Australia are for very high Spring and Summer temps. Places like Katherine and in nth WA already reached over 100f before winter had finished.
