Summer -- yes, meteorological -- begins today...and continues through 31 August.
It feels like it full-on here in Bend, Oregon today:
But in a few days it will be more "seasonable", i.e., temperate.

Not so much the "summer" everyone thinks of but it has
been here for a while .Our summer is fog and more fog with some wind.
Oh well it beats 115 in DV.

It was hotter today in Bend: 97°F. Nearby Redmond set a record for the date: 99.
And now, 8:30 pm, I'm hearing thunder... fires are sure to result.

It was 86 here today for a high and 88 the day before. For us that is awful hot. Thunderstorms down the Sierra crest to the south. A big cool down is promised for the last half of the weekend. We are ready for that!

I noticed some T-heads today, but nothing rumbling.
Yep, it's a heatwave. We were sweating at 6,000 feet yesterday on a shortish hike to collect late morels. It was in the high eighties, and we were trudging. Today my truck thermometer reading was 113 F in town at 2400'.
It always seems too hot for me when late May / early June hits 90F
What does that portend for July and August?
On a side note, our garden veggies seem to have survived transplanting on Sunday, with hoops and shade cloth.
We've put in another large garden, propagated from seed indoors for our second year, using heat mats and led lamps.
Tomatoes, chilis, squash, eggplant, basil and beans are taking off! Every day we fill our bowls with lettuce, argula, peas and more greens.

For this year we're still using our 2008 FWC Hawk with victron DC-DC charger, 130w solar, MPPT controler
with 2000w inverter and external 120v output and 12v solar input with 100w portable solar. http://lighthawkphoto.com

Your heat wave has had the opposite effect on us at the coast,as usual.
We have very heavy fog/drizzle with strong winds mid day to sunset.
I can take the chill better then the heat though.

Yup! Growing up in Redding, CA (where the average summer high is ~100F) we sometimes camped on the norcal coast -- such as at Patrick's Point SP. When it was cool and foggy at Patrick's Point we knew it would be way hot when we got home to Redding.

I was at Hat Creek 3 weeks ago and it had just snowed and day temps were mid 70s. Now we're suddenly in full blown summer mode here with mid 90's all week.
