Ohio was nice last week with temps in the low 80's with low humidity. Watch out, this week temps in the mid 90's and high humidity. After all, it is summer :)
The weather in Oregon (Bend & Sisters) was beautiful while we were there week of 4th of July.

We are very wet too. Got 1/2 and inch today alone. At least we don't have a drought but this is very hard on the grass seed farmers that have fields all around me. It has been cut but not combined yet and now is wet. We have wheat in our fields!

It is indeed hot in Texas. Today ,humidity was high. No rain and the cotton fields are not getting water to grow.
I love the PNW. We are planning our vacation next year to spend it on Lopez Island Wa. Hoping it will rain a little.

I now know what the term "Scorching Hot" means. The heat here, combined with the high humidity, makes it almost unbearable. I saw a story on the news tonight about a man who has had knee surgery and has been unable to work for several weeks. The doctors predict it will be at least 2 more months before he can walk. He's been living for over a month with no water and no electricity in his house. Neighbors have been bringing him water, but he said he's been having to sleep outside on his porch because it's so hot in his house, and that's very dangerous. According to the weatherman, there's no relief in sight for now. I've lost count of how many straight 3-digit temperature days we've had, most of them 105 or 106. Don't even want to think about the heat index!
