88 degrees, humidity in the teens. Thunder clouds over the Eagle Cap Wilderness. So far no fire too close to us. Hope it stays that way.

92 degrees, humidity in the high 70's here. Supposed to be 95 tomorrow, plus the humidity It's hot enough to start a fire here!!

96* and high humidity here today. Too hot to walk or do much of anything outside again today. Got brass prepped today for the 375, 338 RUM and 308. Yesterday I prepped and loaded 50 rounds of 6.5 RPM.
Once it cools down a bit I’ll get the flail mower on the tractor 3 point and start cutting the trails in the woods.

it's been very hot and humid here too . upper 80's and low 90's . it's been called " tropical " for probably 2 weeks . last weekend I decided to section cut and dig out my 8 x 10 cement front porch , and replace it with a 10 x 22 treated frame / trex decking . now I'm in the middle of this project , and I keep thinking , I should of waited for this weather pattern to change . when the afternoon heat really kicks in , I can't keep at it . I keep coming in the house and getting a cold drink of water , and a change to dry clothes . it feels like someone turned to hose on me . it's miserable working when your clothes are stuck to you .

It’s been in the 90’s all week with tropical humidity here. I been trying to strip the paint of the deck and railing , but that just being done in the mornings. Yesterday we got a real kick in the teeth with wildfire smoke from Canada. Most of the day we only could muster 1/2 mile visibility.

We broke some records over the weekend getting over 100 here in Montana, but it is a dry heat! no fires here yet but getting some hazy smoke from CAN and MN they are saying. I wish humidity on no one at any temp over 80.
Gained some elevation last night after dinner to relax and cool down and walk the dog.

Same here is Wisconsin, HOT! Today the air quality alert says "Very Unhealthy". I'm continuing to work on completing indoor projects and limiting my outside activities.

Getting smoke from two 5000 acre fires just west of us about 40 miles. There are two more to the Sw but prevailing wind is keeping that smoke away.

It is almost always humid where I live in Arkansas. I don't usually look at the temperature on a computer and don't have any thermometers outside, but it has been hot, I assume 90 + lately. I actually am quite accustomed to the feel of being in the summer heat, dialed in my clothing decently for dealing with it, but chronic fatique issues have me struggling to keep up with the yard work in it. I find a wide brimmed hat, very loose clothing, long sleeves and pants make it a little easier to survive. I think I need a poncho style shirt to maximize ventilation. If you don't let your clothes stick to you, your body can do a much better job of staying cool it seems. Got to keep that sun off though too.

Earlier in the week we in the mid 90’s with dew points in the upper 70’s , your sweat was sweating. It’s amazing in 6 months you go from -30’s to 90’s here in WI. Factoring in windchill and heat index you’re talking over 150*.
Today’s smoke was better 3/4 mile visibility.
