It has been at or above 95F (35C) since June 2nd and overnight "lows" at or above 75F (24C). When you mix in 85+% humidity, it's just darn hot!
We also haven't had any rain for the last 27 days and counting. Things are looking pretty dry. Our community is on Stage 2 water restrictions already. This stage is volunterary but we're only supposed to water 2 days a week (Sundays and Thursdays as we're an even numbered house) and not more than an inch a week. Our grass is already starting to die on our 3 days a week of water so I see no hope of it lasting!
Yesterday we went to Bryan, TX for the "Texas Reds Fesitval". A day of wine tasting, steak and entertainment. Unfortunately we made an amateur mistake and arrived in the afternoon. After standing out in 100F (38C) sunshine, eating and drinking we were close to heat stroke and headed back to the hotel before the bands even started! :) Next year we'll be wise and turn up around 6p and avoid the heat stroke ...
Well, its currently 104F (41C) on the temperature gauge outside so we're headed for the pool!
Bring it on! :)
EDIT: It rained today!! it has been 43 straight days with nothing but we had a great thunderstorm this morning and finally we have some rain! June is supposed to be one of our wettest months with an average of 5inches and we got zero so we need every drop we can get!
