I have lived in Minnesota since December 1985 and I can't recall a summer that has been as hot for as long as this one. The humidity is so bad the windows on the outside of the house are sweating in the morning. The temp today got to 97, but felt like 105 and the dewpoint yesterday broke records here. Dewpoints in the 70's are considered tropical - we were in the low 80's !! Just step outside and it's instant sweat ! UGH... Our weather guy tonight had a huge ice sculpture in the "Backyard" and he expected by the 10 o'clock news that it would be completely melted away.
The heat even shattered a window in our pickup truck - the back slider window of the cab. I felt for that poor guy that had to come out and replace it in this heat - he was probably was sweating buckets !
It's even too hot to get in our pool. I'd had to make an effort to take the pool cover off to get in. That's just too much work in this heat....... Of course, the corn in the field behind us loves this weather. Heat, rain, heat, rain, repeat. It's grown about 3 feet in the last 10 days.
Tomorrow is supposed to be much better, both for heat and humidity. But not before we get ugly storms tonight.....I'm just praying the power doesn't go off.
Geez, I'm sweating just writing about how hot it is.......I'm gonna go stand in front of the freezer door.
