Hang Me Out to Dry

Hee Haw!

Well I don't know about you but it's sweltering here.  We usually have hot summer days but no humidity.  I remember, about 15 years ago putting in a half mile of barb wire fence in 105 deg. weather.  No sweat!  But now, it actually feels like Florida.  If it's 99 degrees the temperature index (what it actually feels like on your skin ) is from 105 to 110.  It's up early in the morning to do chores and then later in the afternoon.  Yesterday I overdid it with some weeding in a flower garden and ended up with a headache.  And we're only in July!

Another interesting thing that is occurring are the t-storms.  As a rule the weather comes in from the west and proceeds east.  We're all familiar with this.  Lately, the storms are doing just the opposite.  Forming in the east and heading to the west, northwest.  Last night a biggie (tremendous and jaw dropping thunder) was just northeast of us but no rain.  It just hung over us.

I'm not a fan of "Climate" Change as I believe that most of it is BS.   But I do take note of things we're all used to seeing, that have me puzzled, like storms moving east to west instead of like they used to.

Between the extreme humidity and storms acting weird, maybe we all should be taking notice.

How is it in your neck of the woods?

UPDATE:  These are actual temps not the heat index:  It was 106 degrees on Wednesday, July 18; 107 degrees on Thursday, July 19; 108 degrees on Friday, July 20th; 106 (instead of the 109 they predicted) degrees on Saturday, July 21st; 102 on Sunday, July 22 and Monday, July 23.  Today it's gonna be 99 - 100 degrees and tomorrow 101.
