Heat dome will scorch much of the Lower 48 next week.

3. Summers here in N. Florida can get brutal, but not this one.

It has rained nearly every day here since around the first of June, it is wet, but the temps have been moderate. Our thunderstorm today came late (it is booming away as I type) so the temps got up to around 94, but that is not unusual this time of year.

I live in the woods and all of the rain has caused the undergrowth to explode. It is literally a jungle just outside the windows. I am hoping we don't get a quick drying out or we are liable to have some real issues with fire.

I feel really bad for the people in the North who have never experienced this kind of Summer. Here in the deep South, we have figured out how to live with the hot temps combined with high humidity. You learn to pace yourself when you have to be out in it.
