Reply #5: We are well passed a week now [View All]

and there is little sign that it will change a lot. We have had 1 day in the last 18 when it did not hit 100 at least but still the index was well over 100. 111 today. Forecast for the next 8 days, at least 6 will be triple digits. I know there are areas that have it worse than we do, I can't imagine. My little farm seems immune to the rain that has been around off and on (mostly off). I have had about 1/4 inch since sometime in mid June. My crop is dead and crispy but since it is grass for livestock it is still usable but sparse. Real farmers are having a horrible time.

It was 100 degrees last week at midnight. August is usually our hottest month. Oh boy.

I am glad to know this is simply a weather phenomenon, hopefully that is true and does not repeat itself or I will start to invest in big cactus for my NE Kansas farm. *smiling through the sweat*

Thank you for the information, I was very curious why this dome has not moved.
