Wow, this heat!

Anyone have a drought going on? My lawn is burning up, no real rainfall here since late May here. I lost 9 Green Giant evergreen trees, a few Hemlocks. At least I don’t really need to cut the lawn for the past month. Our private well is 330ft deep, It may be a good idea to have the water tested now. The stream that boarders our property is dry, I pumped water to the pond so that I don’t loose any Koi fish.
I can’t do anything in this heat, can’t wait for the fall.

Most days are 100 to 105 for the last week, one day we tied the record at 109°F. The all time record ever in Oklahoma is 113°F. So far we have had about 14 days of 100+ this year and little rain. This Friday we have a 60% change and a prediction of 1.5" of rain.

There’s only been a few times we reached 100 here since I can remember. Our son Robert has been working for a private security firm since leaving the service, he recently surfaced in London a couple weeks ago waiting for his next assignment. He says the UK is a mess. It hardly ever reaches the high 80s there so their building code never had it in mind that temps could get that high. Their blacktop is different, it’s melting parts of runways not in concrete. Roofs are collapsing under the heat. AC is not common there, not even the hospitals have AC. When my wife and I were there in 2014 we had a nearly impossible time finding a hotel room with AC and we were at a Marriott! The schools are temporarily closed and the car races are put off. France is bad but their codes are better.

The schools are temporarily closed and the car races are put off. France is bad but their codes are better.

They just had Formula 1 race this weekend which means Friday, Saturday and Sunday in France, but when teams are spending $100 million each, they tend to have better asphalt then the runways at the airport. Several teams have 1000+ people on the payroll for a team with 2 cars.
