Down here in central Illinois we've had plenty of rain and enough sunshine to make the crops do better than they have in several years.

 Last year was so dry that the lawn  needed mowing once  after the first of July.

Shut it, THundley!   :rofl:

The year to date (January-June) statewide precipitation for Illinois was 28.74. That was 8.91 inches above the 1981-2010 average and the wettest January-June on record. The statewide records go back to 1895. It is more than double the 12.67 inches accumulate in January-June of 2012 during the height of the drought.

The statewide average temperature was 71.5 degrees, which was 0.3 degrees below the 1981-2010 average.

I can't even imagine.  That's what I keep telling myself on these still, muggy days: don't have to shovel humidity.

:fuelfire:

I see little change in Temps. from when I was a kid and that is LOOOONG ago.

We opened up the camp on the lake in Maine mid June.  I remember some small patches of snow still under the Pines.   

Came July it was still a bit cold to swim but come a week or so the water was just fine.   Days the temperatures were in the low 80's  hot sun cool breeze.

Nights went down to low 60's and a fire in the fireplace or a Bonn fire was welcome. 

The smell of the pine woods, the call of the Loons on the lake put one to sleep, then the thunderstorms that came rolling in, the sound of rain on the roof , Magnificent.

30 miles away back to home to pick up supplies was a pain, the heat emanated from the ground, the sound of the heat bugs and the still air, could not wait to get back to the lake.

Not so different today, temperatures in the low 80's nights high 50's.   

We have our up and down years, some very cold with little snow, some mild with 8 foot drifts.     Some years we get too much rain or too little, just how Mother Nature works.

Those that live in the south west know about the 12 noon temperatures  of 105 and the midnight temperatures of 50 degrees.

Just Mother Earth going through her stages of reaction to the winds and changes to climate changes.    All very normal as we look back in history to see civilizations destroyed by the inability to adapt to changing times.

82 right now with 60% humidity and rain coming in.

Thunderstorms predicted for the next 6 days, then on the 7th "showers", back to thunderstorms on the 8th, and "showers" on the 9th. Depending on the day.. it's 40-60% chance. Normally, that wouldn't be much, this year? "20%" chance and we're getting rain...

Heard on the national news the other night, the SE is going to have this kind of weather through OCTOBER", which means the summer weather will switch over to fall weather - when our rains usually start...

I need to find an Ark builder....  :panic:

Man you ain't kidding!  The best part was having several days all in a row like that - and those turned out to be days I didn't have to work all daylight hours.   :cheersmate:

Having nice cool dry evenings was nothing to sneeze at either!
