Joe Joyce says the coming heat wave means business:
The western Atlantic Ridge, which brought us our last 5 day heat wave recently took a break. Well, it's BAAACK! It is flexing its muscle along the east coast once again and completely taking control of the weather across the United States! It is literally drop kicking an upper low currently in place over Kentucky back into Texas! This is something you just do not see in weather which usually travels west to east!
A sweltering citizen complains about the weather, wants the city to do something about it:
It's too hot. Please ask the dpw to turn down the sun. Ask the Mayor to allow Thunderstorms.
UPDATE: City marks case closed:
Case Noted. Requests filed but difficult to fulfill as [city of Boston] has no jurisdiction over sun/rain. i hope this info is helpful.
Kasey Fielding tweets an electrical fire at E. Berkeley and Washington streets did nothing for motorists' nerves, not to mention the core body heat of firefighters who had to respond to it. Photo of hot firefighters.
The Boston Fire Department is being kept busy this evening responding to multiple reports of manhole and power-line issues as overloaded lines give out under all the demand and heat.
