Very Hot Here 3 rating By Anonymous ( Sep 16, 2019) It is very hot here during the summer. It easily reaches 110+ degrees for several months. There is no public transportation and most of the jobs are a 40 minute drive or longer. It is a small town and a lot of people know each other. Not much to do for kids or teens here. ...Read More Read Less
