How hot is it?

Traffic passes on Mission 66 Tuesday afternoon as the thermometer at a dentist’s office flashes 104 degrees, the day’s high, which broke the record for the second day. The previous high for the date was 99 in 1954. The extreme heat is predicted to stick around until Sunday, when some cloud cover is forecast to lower the heat to a high of about 95.
