Flagstaff hit 84°F today for the third daily record in a row. It also set the March record for the third time in three days.
The record of 84°F in March exceeds anything recorded for April where the record is currently 80°F.
The earliest 84°F recorded before today was May 2.

Me talking to Microsoft Pilot as we work our way through code.
Me (answering opinion question): I honestly have no idea

I'm making a low-key weather app for Asheville and I looked at my current observation readout logic saying "hot and dry" and at first I was like dammit. What did I do wrong now? But then I realized, it really is hot and dry. Good Lord.
