We "cooled" to upper 90's yesterday. But, the humidity went up and we had triple-digit "humitures". Supposed to be 100 today, 103 tomorrow, and 102 Sunday. Small spots, the size of McWheenyville, rec'd rain night before last. Other than than, none. Played golf, yesterday afternoon. Cracks so large in the fairways that a golf ball would roll into them. The course we played was burned to a crisp.
Our home course, as of last weekend, was one of the greenest in the area. Don't know how much longer that will last unless we see some rain.
This has been a hot one. Living in this area all of my 66 years, I do remember some hot summers. However, the triple-digit temps would last for two weeks at the longest. This is the longest streak I can remember. Our local meteorologists say we have broken records for 100 degree + days clear back to the 1800's. We have far exceeded the 100+ degree days of the 30's "dust bowl" era.
