Is the heat wave over?

We've never seen an end of June as scorching hot as this one, and now, it seems to come to an end, just like it appeared out of the blue, more than two weeks ago. Is it a sign global warming on steroids, or a weird extreme? I'd tend to say the former, but I'm not quite sure.

This could be a harbinger of burning heat to settle for good into our normally crisp mountain environment, but for the moment, I take it as a welcome reprieve and am sure relieved about it. Cool days are back!
