It feels like 119 outside already, it will easily raise ten more degrees by the time the sun goes down. I'm sweating like a horse and I just got out of the pool.

[Ma Huang Sor]

Jesus christ the whole country is sweating like a nigger trying to read.

Friday
map is the morning temps.

(CNN) -- Another day of blistering heat, and for hundreds of thousands, no power.

That's the expectation Friday, when thermometers once again teeter above the 100-degree mark, from St. Louis to Baltimore and many communities in between.

More than 549,000 customers had no power Thursday night in 11 states and the District of Columbia, officials said.



i finally reached my sister Wednesday, in Maryland. she had been w/o power since Sunday, which was her twin girls' birthday. it was sweltering of course, and she lost a hundred-year-old tulip tree in storms. she was in a foul miserable mood, and i don't blame her!
she never really understood what i endured in florida 'canes, now she does. awful suffering with no power in the heat, it is dangerous. people die.
try to stay cool friends!

Juesus fucking christ. This does not fill me to the brim with confidence.

[Lady Cop]

awful for farmers! and of course prices will rise for corn etc.



(CNN) -- A severe drought is spreading across the Midwest this summer, resulting in some of the worst conditions in decades and leaving more than a thousand counties designated as natural disaster areas, authorities said.

Farmers in the region are suffering, with pastures for livestock and fields of crops becoming increasingly parched during June, according to the National Climatic Data Center. Many areas in the southern Midwest are reporting the poorest conditions for June since 1988.

The farmers' difficulties come amid a record-setting level of hot, dry weather across the nation.

As of Tuesday, about 61% of the contiguous United States (excluding Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico) was experiencing drought conditions, the highest percentage in the 12-year record of the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Unusually high temperatures and little rainfall over the past week have led to "widespread deterioration and expansion of dryness and drought" in the Midwest, northwestern Ohio Valley and southern Great Plains, the drought monitor said.

[LuciferLynn]

Oh dear! How awful!

[ramseycat]

Hotter than a Mofo here and no relief in sight. I am getting a little annoyed. Upstate summers used to be so pleasant. Warm and sunny. Hardly any humidity. Plenty of rain to keep everything green. Now it's like a freakin swamp. Hot muggy hazy and everything is brown.

[LuciferLynn]

It'd be nice to do yard work, only the yard is like straw. It hasn't needed mowed since right after memorial day. Its supposed to rain tomorrow and Sunday but I doubt it. They've been saying that for weeks.

[Duchess]

Upstate summers used to be so pleasant.

You guys who refer to that area as upstate kill me. Hahaha.

How come? It's always been called Upstate since I moved here. Probably because we are up state from NYC.

[Duchess]

How come?

Because I was born & raised in upstate NY...on the Canadian border. The North Country.

[FAHQTOO]

Another 100+ deree day today and again tomorrow. 23 straight days in the 90's as of tomorrow, most of those above 95.
6/10" of rain since before memorial day.
The leaves are starting to fall off the trees here.

We're beyond the dog days of summer and they're not even here yet..
