Just came in the house and it is about as bad a summer day as we get here in IL. The indor outdoor thermometer on my desk says 100.2F with bright sunshine. It is usually a fairly accurate device but even if its off a few degrees its still plenty hot out there. The humidity is around 60% and the dew point must be around 80 so when you sweat it goes nowhere just puddles up on you. The cattle were in the lakes at 8am this morning. Looked like a good idea! Good news is our crops are still hanging in there thanks to good subsoil moisture and all of this humidity in the air.
Stay cool everybody, better days are comming!

It was a real nice day up in valleyview ab. The sun was out with a nice little breeze. Beautiful day for a change :D
 
Here in central N.C. it topped out at about 90 today, but the weatherman is encouraging, he says it's gonna warm up to the high 90's before the week is out. Rather dry here also.
 
Kind of cool and windy today around Spokane. We got a little rain, but way less than a tenth. It is supposed to be even cooler tomorrow, maybe not up to 70.

It continues to be an unusual Spring/Summer. My garden is not doing well at all, because it has been too cool. The winter wheat looks OK and the bluegrass crops around here look good. Spring wheat, not all that great. I think harvests will be way late this year.

Most years we have very hot temperatures by this date in July--90+ is not uncommon, and sometimes we have almost no rain between the first part of July and mid September. Maybe our weather pattern will change and it will get more like Summer, but now it feels like early May.

Oh well, I am not depending on my garden to be able to eat next Winter. If I was, I would be really worried. It just isn't doing anything.
 
We have been very fortunate, was a cold wet spring, but we've had numerous "perfect" days sunny, 80's no humidity, cools off to high 50's at night, but mostly lows of about 60, rain just as we need it now, though anyone who did get a decent first cut hay off the fields because of the weather would have excellent 2nd cut and a perfect window to bale it now. I just cut the field by my house and it would have been perfect 2nd cut, I bagged up some before it rained, no hay equipment. We are just getting into the first hot humid weather this year, last year it was relentless from May until the end of September, 90s and humid for months, working in our barns was unbearable, in 1 hour you appeared like someone turned you upside down, dunked you and set you right side up, soaked to your knees in it. Still cannot believe they combined all the corn in Sept last season, never seen that here, always late October early November. Chopping was early too. We had a real spring this year, not just winter to summer, and that cool air from the north has found us often, thunderstorms have been mild, I have a tree struck that rivals the one you posted though !

I won't complain one bit, just hope this winter is not like last !!!
 
102 yesterday with 115 heat index. Moron neighbor was baling his rice crispy alfalfa at 5:00 pm, hottest part of the day.
 
Been nice and cool here as in upper 90s with a heat index of over 105. But I do try to remember back when I was in Egypt in June and it was 120 in the shade so as to make it feel better. Oh and the humility is in the uppers 60% lower 70%
 
Here in northen Indiana its mostly sunny with a few clouds now and then. Tempertures in the upper 90's with high humidty. They say it will last another 3 to 4 days with thunder storms at the end of week.

It's been pretty dry in my part of the Finger Lakes since June 10 and the crops are under serious stress. This dry stretch would not be so bad but things went in 4 to 5 weeks late this year. I am seeing all kinds of conditions going 10 miles in any direction. I am not seeing too many nice crops in general. This week we have been in the 80's, got over 90 today and supposed to get to about 95 tomorrow and 100 Thursday.
 
Been in the 90's for 5-6 days, and all week. We got an inch of rain a week ago Monday, none since, and no more until the weekend at least. Crops are hurting.
 
We have had 25 days over 100 degree every thing burning up. Even the irrigation running 24-7 cannot keep up. gitrib
 
29 days of 100 degrees plus here in Oklahoma. Not much rain. Some parts of Western OK have only had 3/10th inch since spring. Cattle selling at the auction like hot cakes. Unfortunately no end in sight!
 
Plenty hot just NE of you too! Did some road work, got hot and quit, temp said 98 on the truck going to town at 4:00pm. Peoria said that the heat index was 117! I think worse tomorrow, gotta chip bleeding roads then sit in the air and mow roads.
 
Western Washington, Oregon and northern California (down to about San Francisco) are "north" of the jetstream. Average highs in the mid to upper 60's, rain every other day or so. Low pressure area is parked over us, and can't go east because of the massive high you have. About a week of good hay weather around the 4th, then we relapsed into this pattern.

Cold weather crops in garden are doing well, but corn, beans and tomatoes will probably never ripen because of the cold. Last year was the same.

Seems like its never "right" anymore- too hot for you guys, too cold for us. As Rosanne Rosannadanna on Saturday Night Live used to say, "I'ts always something."

On the bright side, its sure nice weather for working outside.
 
68 and overcast here today, forecast for 65 and 61 for highs the next couple days. I'm about 25 mi NE and about 13,600 ft below the summit of Mt Rainier in WA.
 
104+ @ Brownwood Texas Today!!!
Later,

PS... H.O.T. allover, & going to stay that way for the next 60+ days. Mark your calenders!
 
We might get a thunderstorm this morning, but heading for 97 this p.m. Heat index 105. I'll pick beans early and then stay in where it's cooler.

56 degrees and a toadstrangler at the moment. Was supposed to get 20mm of rain by the end of tonight, we had 25 mm at 0530 this morning.....
 
Hot hot hot, and bery muggy. We're up on the edge of the heat bubble as our weather guy says, so we've been getting rain just bout every night to make it even more humid. Gotta say the corn likes it though, conditions are just about perfect for growing but not much else.

Tonight after work I'm gonna cut some hay for baling, it's only been 3 weeks since we took off 1st crop but it's already in bloom again. The heat is only supposed to last through Thursday, which means it'll cool down to the 80's for baling hay this weekend. Should feel pretty good compared to 95-100.

same weather just north of you bill. corn is getting a little stressed, beans are holding their own. had the tanker out last sunday to water all the fruit trees and the garden, they were pretty dry. have some hay that i could cut and bale, wonder if kruser would wanna stack bales on the rack??????
 
HOT!

Two days last week the city where I live was had the highest temperature in the nation.

I've seen 111º and 110º fairly recently and although it is usually with low humidity and a breeze to keep the heat index near the same temp, I did see a 117º heat index the other day.

I haven't used air-conditioning in my home since 1997 and the high interior has been 96º after being shut up while I was gone. I use a whole house attic fan for lowering the temperature over night time. Cooled to 84º by 7 a.m. this morning after 104º yesterday. I'll shut the house up shortly to hold the cooler air in.
 
hi to all the weather here in my area sucks too much rain for me and the fog now holds up all hay work and anything else you want to do. the weather man is full of s%%%%% they are never right and you cant plan anything ,they are calling for mid 90s today wrong there is so much fog and heavy dew that you could take a shower outside. so much for mowing today would like to get done im still on 1st cutting but everyday it rains almost .the people in this area are tired of it we had a cold wet spring and its still wet too much for me. southwestern pa.
 
Oklahoma City has has 100* plus for about 22 days in a row now. Record was 7 days, a long time back.
Our temps have been 97* to 116* every day sense early June. I am about 50 miles NE of OK. City.
Pastures are 'gone ' now, as no rain for 5 weeks.
Lots of cattle have went to the sale barns .
