I live in central Iowa, where a lot of corn is grown. I can walk out of my house and hit a cornfield, no matter which direction I travel. These fields are beautiful and so lush and green. I love living here. However, the weather has been horrendous. We've had a dry spring and early summer. The heat index has been more than 100 degrees for the past several days. The weather man just said that to expect continued 100+ heat index well into this week and weekend. With no rain in the forecast.
It was so hot yesterday, I left *the pool* with heat exhaustion. It's absolutely miserable. You can't go outside for more than ten minutes, without feeling overwhelmed.
Whatever crop forecast was issued for this part of the country--will only worsen with this weather. And there is no end in sight.
These extended 100+ heat-index temps are supposed to break records. We've had higher temps before, but never for so many consecutive days.
Send some ice cubey thoughts our way!!!
