We’ve been living with extreme heat in Pittsburgh since Monday and we’re learning to cope, but it’s worth pointing out Extreme Heat will continue in the City and Allegheny Valley through Sunday 5 July.

We won’t really be out of the furnace until the work week begins on Monday. See slideshow below. Click on a slide to zoom it. 🙁
