So far we are in day 18 of this heat wave. UV Index of 10 today with peak temps 96 (about 17 above average).

The storms have been aggressive and numerous. Humidity is sick, face dripping saturated fog of heat.

The ground is so dry, we dumped our toddlers mini-pool in the grass......soaked it up before it could run off even just a little.


I did get to see nice heat lightening above Ohio during the 4th Fireworks. Must have been huge storm cause the thundertops were seen all the way in Pittsburgh. Drove 2 hours to see the fireworks, worth it (we have AC in the van thank God)

The heat lightening was a deep pumpkin orange, really rare imho.
