Whens the hottest time of day?
That depends where you live, but generally, anywhere from noon to four o’clock. In southeastern Virginia, it tends to peak at around three o’clock, but it also depends on other factors. I woke up one morning and found the thermometer on my fron porch hovering at eighty degrees; that was the hottest it got that day, as a cold front came through and dropped the temperatures to the mid sixties by mid-afternoon. Another time, the temperature started at around thirty-eight, dropped five degrees in as many minutes, then rose again just as quickly, dropped another ten degrees–all in the space of about half an hour in mid-afternoon–and kept jumping around for the rest of the day. A sidenote on that: if you’re using your own thermometer you need to be careful. Mine becomes unreliable at around four o’clock when the sun comes into my front porch and shines directly on the thermometer.
