It"s summertime. It gets hot.
This is the usually hottest week of the year based on recorded data from since records have been kept for this area..
It is also the same time of year that they Clam Bake is held. Unless it is raining, it hot as hell at that event every year.
Just wait until the government runs the electric, They will just shut it off.
