HOT! Not a good start for summer.

This is hot even for Texas this early in the season. Temps and humidity equal heat index temps of 115 to 120+. And same forecast for the foreseeable future. No “dry heat” here. Times like this I miss my Montana and heading to the mountains.

Just about perfect, if it was highs.

That is why our rigs have wheels on them.

I was hoping Bill and I could swap about 15 degrees.
Whata say?

Mid 80's here in Central Indiana. On June 29 we're heading for North Carolina for 2 months. I just checked the temps there.... 64 degrees in those mountains! Nice!

It’s so bad here that when I walk from an air conditioned building to the hot outside, my glasses fog up. Wife walked out yesterday and soon asked if it was smoky before she realized her glasses had fogged. Can’t remember that ever happening. Just the opposite of winter going from outside cold to warm inside.

We are accustomed to hot as we average over forty100 degree days per year. But the humidity is generally low enough the heat index temp is more in the 110 range. Rare to have heat index above 112-113. 120+ is almost unheard of.

So Odd but I'll take it!

This is the first actual spring I can remember in Sacramento. My lawns and plants look amazing! But it's coming!

It seems weather is getting stranger, forest fires in Canada that smoked up much of the East Coast for days, your head wave, drought in the west and now record snow, hundred degrees days here and no snow in the winter.

My three neices all live in Texas and they are out here in our neighborhood for my son's wedding this Saturday. They were all commenting on the heat, humidity..........and BUGS in Texas. I can handle heat, but I hate bugs.....especially thousands of them flying critters

93º with a heat index of 105º in Northeast, TX up near the Red River. Got the Kubota side by side and tractor serviced with an oil change, greasing and blowing out the radiators and air filters. Came back inside take a shower and went back out to the carport to check the oil level on both units. Walked back to the porch without a dry thread on me! Oh well, another shower tonight. At least maintenance is done and over with. Welcome to Hades - I mean Texas.....
Oh - and missed a shot at a group of wild hogs this morning before I even had my coffee... They tore the begeebers out of our "yard" while we were out on a 12 day visit to Tar Camp park in Arkansas. Beautiful quiet place along the Arkansas River.

If you have never been around the wild hogs they can tear up land so it’s hard to walk on. I have a friend in South Carolina that has plenty of them. I saw a 50+ acre field that was rougher than plowed. They had a hundred acres of corn they were going to harvest in three days it was all destroyed.

My sister and brother-in-law live near Flower Mound (between Dallas and Fort Worth). I haven't heard from her in some time, but I have a feeling they bugged out and headed Northward for a while to escape the heat there. My brother-in-law hails from Corpus Christi and my sister and him were married in 1970 (both Vietnam US Army vets) and moved to Plano. Lived there a few years and then to Carrolton. After their kids got out of high school, they moved near Flower Mound.

All this time in Texas, my Indiana transplant sister has never, ever complained about the heat in Texas. She's only complained about having to water her flowers.

We left FL earlier this month and took or time to get to CO (greetings from Ouray!). Glad me missed all that miserable heat, can’t get the Monty cool in those temps. Did have some hail one afternoon driving through central TX but at least it was cool!

It just keeps on keeping on.
This is going to push us over 40 100+ days and no end in sight.
