I BELIEVE IN METEOROLOGICAL SEASONS.... but this doesn't look much like summer

On the other hand, the first 2 days of this summer were in the upper 90s, so maybe that was summer.

95 the last two days here. 96 (last year) is the hottest we've seen in our 32 years in our home. Please, please, no more record breakers.

Are those high temps not required for cooking ghost chickens?

Danged ol’ banjer pickers.  :P

The average high temperature here in Bend in mid-June is upper 70s....so the forecast for the next 10 days is hot for here:

I know I shouldn't complain about mere 90s, but my 45+ year old house doesn't have air conditioning.  Maybe I should upgrade my HVAC to something appropriate for this millennium.

 

On the other hand, Bend city water is so cold -- year round -- that a cold shower can bring hypothermia whenever necessary, so there's that...

It's prematurely dark -- deep clouds. And I'm hearing thunder -- lightning.

Hope we don't have a bunch more fires.

 

Just felt a big strike -- felt the concussion in the house. It must have been BIG to feel it because it was almost a mile away (based on sound delay).

Batten down the hatches and take cover. Nature is amazing.

...Nature is amazing.

 

Very amazing. Big thunder, lightning storms are very cool.

 

Unfortunately, we've entered the season where a "smoke forecast" is part of the nightly local TV weather report...and it's only June.

 

On the local TV weather report tonight they had a segment to refresh our memories about "AQI" -- air quality index, with a report of a local firm that runs monitors across Central Oregon.

Last summer -- when AQI was off-scale bad -- I put a shortcut to the AQI website on my phone home screen:  www.airnow.gov  I see there's actually an app available...
