I feel guilty complaining about the 90s. My sister lives in AZ and said 90s would be pleasurable.

The temps came down after some rain moved in late yesterday, but the humidity is still staggering. It doesn't feel all that much cooler because it is so humid.

Finally and all day soft rain. We really needed it.

We have a house in the S.E. Valley of Az. Thursday the rain and high wind ripped off a huge branch of the Palo Verde tree in our front lawn. The branch landed straight across our neighbors driveway. He is out of town but we called him to tell him the landscaper would remove it tomorrow.

We are currently in Illinois and it is 87 with 62% humidity and 68 degree dew point.

This has been a horrible summer.

Amen! BTW, because of the humidity, I saw the "real feel" temp. was 107º yesterday. We had a repairman here, and I felt so sorry for him working in those conditions. He was soaked through with perspiration, and when we offered him a cold drink, he drank two tumblersful straight down.

The drop into the 80's got me outside this morning. Loved every minute of handling some minor yard work. Makes me look forward to better times!!

Saw on the weather channel what's going on in La. I feel sorry for those people. I'll bet their heat and humidity is horrible on top of all that flooding.

It was 117 yesterday and one of my mesquite trees looks like it's getting more and more dead branches ):
