Hot and Dry

QVCkitty1 — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 23:02:09 GMT

Here in NY state it is blistering hot and at least in my part we can't buy a drop of rain. There were storms around us but nothing here. How is your weather ? 😥😥

Here in Chicago, feels like Florida. Dew point is at 70. But everything is still green. We've had so much rain this year Lake Michigan is near its highest level ever.

We were dry here in my part of the metro-DC area for a while, but over the past couple of nights, we've totaled over three inches of rain. Not severe storms in my area, but heavy, heavy rain and lots of thunder.

Here in S. WI, it's also blistering hot, but we got 1/2" of rain last night during a thunderstorm. It's going to be very hot right through next weekend, but we are supposed to be getting rain off and on all day tomorrow. A few counties N. of us got severe crop damage. Such a shame.

It rained this morning, but is now breezy with partial sun at 73 degrees. Mid 60's - mid 70's with lows in the 50's is normal for this time of the year here in my neck of the PNW.😊

Speaking of hot and dry, we've got 100°+ (up to 104°) predicted for every day of the next week. We've had a little over 3" of rain this year and the current relative humidity is 6%.

We usually get 2 or 3 100° days a year.

Here is Summerville South Carolina where I just moved to from LA is nice. It's get sunny and steamy and then it rains. Everyone keeps telling me the summers are brutal. That hasn't been my experience. One thing tho is every thunderstorm I get a sinus headache. I went from California fire season sinus headache to South Carolina thunderstorm sinus headache season. I can't win!

Due to the heat, I've been pouring cold water on the back porch and a small area where my elderly dog goes out so she doesn't burn her feet.

And our lows are in the upper 80's and low 90's. No relief. Maybe the monsoon will kick in.

Very hot and humid in Missouri, with a heat index around 105 for the last few days. We've been getting a thunderstorm with a decent amount of rain each week, so it's not terribly dry. Glad I can stay inside!

@QVCkitty1 I'm hearing ya! Same situation here in eastern PA. We are under a flood watch, but there is no flooding going on. Other townships have had rain, but not us. My mom would say "we're not living right."

Mid 80's here in southern West Virginia, and absolutely no complaints from me. Gardens are finally growing well, and farmers are able to cut and bale their hay, which is running a month later than normal for their first cutting.

I love summer in WV, and seeing tractors and bailers in the fields! Brings back lots of memories.
