It was 81 at 10 last night here. My thermometer says 104 right now and its kinda shaded...lol

Our lows have been excedeing our normal highs. No end in sight for the heat and no rain forecast. Grass is burning up(and we have idionts going around starting hay fires to of all things. Good way to get shot!)
Expect everything from hay to corn soybeans to take a big jump in price. Your going to feel the squeeze in the grocery store soon as well.

We got close to 70 today. Tomorrow is supposed to be closer to 8o and Sunday even hitting 80..We will see. As then cooling down again to possibly 70. Very cool summer this year so far. We have only had 3 days so far of 80 degree weather. kim

The news yesterday showed a rooftop temp in downtown Memphis of 180.6*F. Reading taken with a digital point and shoot heat gun. Ground temps were around 98-104 depending on which part of town you were in. Without the heat index.

Night temps are so high that the bell peppers go from blossom to rotten without forming a true pepper. Need about 10 degrees cooler at night. But it is making the beans grow like gangbusters.

Pond water level has dropped a foot since early June. That is pretty significant in a 2+ acre pond.

Underhood temps got so high yesterday that I lost a cylinder on the mini truck. Thermostat seized shut, a spark plug popped out, and 1/2 the plug wires got fried (dual plug 4 banger). Dash warped last week.

Just walked the beagle. 0500 hours, low 80s, but a nice little breeze. Tolerable. Have to work 1/2 day, temps projected to be high 90s with an index of 112F. A/C is broken in the Freightliner.

Oh well, it IS the South.

We had 105 Friday. I don't know what the heat indices were. I DO know that I took the bike to work and had a beautiful ride in and something that has never happened before on the way home. It was so hot that there was not a single even slightly cooler breeze on the ride home. Shocked

It was like standing in front of a blast furnace. Shocked

I have never been that hot and miserable on my bike before. The heat actually hurt my eyes. :'( It was only 100 yesterday and it threatened rain but rain never came. :'( It's supposed to be dropping into the 80's today but it's already 74 @ 7am. I love the heat but Friday made me think that that's what it would be like to ride in H@!! Grin
