It has also been very nice here in Chicago the last couple of days. Low humidity and 70s. I walked down to the river yesterday and stood and watched the boats go by. It's like a mini-vacation.

There's a hurricane coming up from the Gulf. Won't really affect us, other than keeping the current thunderstorms going all through 4th of July weekend.

In Dallas, we whined that hurricanes blew the "painful, biting" mosquitoes up from the Gulf. Of course, the resident blood suckers didn't bite at all...

Low humidity and low 70s here too. We pool people prefer nearer 80s and a little less breeze, but we'll take it....

Local temps creeping up into the low eighties inland, the coastline where I am consistently at least 5 F cooler. It now being July, perhaps we might dispense with the "June Gloom," daily overcast, O Lord? And get some real summer goin'?

Anthropogenic Global Warming doesn't seem to be really pushing matters around here the last few years. It feels like there are more cooler days than there had been.

KYW said nice and cool today and tomorrow, then heat and humidity rising over the weekend, going to 96 and muggy again on Monday.

...with no precipitation in sight.

high of 66. rained overnight and this morning. cloudy now. again. still. duh.

bad link Jim - try this one instead

high of 62 deg.

steady rain.

The most rain I have seen all year so far.

rain yesterday, and too cold to do yardwork in a tshirt when it wasn't actually raining. not raining now/yet but still cold. I mowed yesterday but the rain picked up when I broke to reload the string trimmer, so I quit for the day. I'll have to wear a jacket or sweatshirt and a hat to go finish this morning.

It's hot enough to boil a monkey's bum in here, your Majesty...

Monkey's bum. . . makes one helluva fondue!
