It’s crazy. 🤪

89 deg. right now, 10:30 am, with 76% humidity, going up to 96 deg. Heat index right now is 108 deg.
That's actually normal Louisiana summer weather.
What's unusual is the lack of rain.
Take a hot shower, don't dry off, put all your clothes on ... that's what it feels like.
I know it's still Spring because it still feels a little cooler at night. In full summer, you really can't feel a difference between day & night.

What a perfect description of hot, humid weather. I’m in TN and so we’re not quite as bad, but close. And the lack of rain has me worried. I’ve lived in this state for 17 years and never gone more than 5 days or so without rain. I think it’s been two weeks with unseasonably hot temps and no rain and none forecasted in the immediate future. There’s been rain all around my town, but not here. It’s bizarre.

It’s hot, humid and horrible here too. rain would be great but it keeps bypassing my little farm….😥

And here (Vancouver Island) ...

Forecasts are finally telling us we may get warm and dry weather next week. This is the first sign that I may get my hay off.

 

[Boers4ever]

Mike you’re lucky. It hasn’t rained here in weeks and ranchers are selling out because there’s no grass. Temps in the 100s and they’re saying that this is the worst drought since 2011.

 

[Moers kiko boars]

We are hot and steamy. We were supposed to get a Thunderstorm last night. I was excited. But.all we got was lightning😥😣 so today we are 93° with heat index 103°!

 

[Boer Mama]

@Moers kiko boars didnt you get your years supply of rain/flood earlier? 😅

@Boers4ever here in ID, we finally got a good year for ranching. The late rains helped a ton! There’s a lot of feed this year, cows are starting off nice and fat too.

Unfortunately, all this feed also equates to fuel for fires… some idiot was shooting steel plates 8 miles away and started a fire. My dad was up on the mountain fencing… thankfully some others were around and got it put out without it blowing too close. Wind was coming our direction too!
Dad got his firebreaks cut this weekend- talk about the nick of time! 🍀🍀🍀

Yes, there is not much you can do about the weather, but whining can be so cathartic.

 

[Moers kiko boars]

Hey @Boer Mama ..yes on the rain
Now its all dried up! Sandy loam swallows all that, then gets all cracked up. Lol

You do need some of Mikes buckets (Or barrels!) to save some of that for later 😅
Hope you get more (but not too much at once!) soon 🍀🙏🍀

Though I now delight in our cool weather, it seems I may never get my hay off. Another 10 days of wet in the forecast. My hay should have been cut 3 or 4 weeks ago. When it finally gets cut, probably in October the way things are going, I will have more bales than I can handle and the goats won't eat any of it.

Sell excess hay. Its a once off and you know its good.

 

[Tanya]

Today is our shortest day - winter solstice. And its raining and only 2°c.

 

[DDFN]

Well when we don't have a heat index warning we get air quality alert warnings. Oh Tenn get your act together please.

Beautiful day in Washington.
