Hotter than a four balled tomcat around here too!
We had a hot spell in June, then it got back to normal until the last week, since then, it's been more like August than July. Highs in the mid to upper 90's, hit 100 a little while today, and all the humidity to boot. "Air you can wear" the weather guessers say. The past week, it has rained all around me, but all we got was a couple of sprinkles. Got within a mile of me yesterday, but we didn't get anything. My grass is mostly dead, I had two patches of green left, must be an underground stream there. I cut that little bit Wed, didn't touch the rest, and it all looks fresh cut! Last time it was like this we slipped into a drought, according to the latest map, it looks like we're headed there again.
Heat is supposed to slip back west this weekend a bit, and a pretty good chance of a thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon, if we get it. If not, it may be over in late Sept or Oct before we get some beneficial rain. Been watching the farmers crops, not looking good for them around here. Last year they got 4 hay cuttings off a field just about 1/4 mile from me, this year, only two so far, and the third looks iffy.
