From what they’re saying, the 100’s could be gone for a while. We smashed all kinds of records this year. Who knows what Mother Nature will do?Highs here have been in the mid 90's or higher until today. Recorded 97 in my shop yesterday but today....way different story. The low was 61 and the high in my airy shop is 77 so far. Out under the carport behind my shop is 75 and the temps back there are usually 3-5 degrees hotter. Hit 100 under the carport yesterday.....
Last year was the killer heat.....this summer wasn't nearly as bad and at least we got plenty of rain in the early summer but now it's been pretty dry. Last year mature trees died and so did some people. We got a hurricane this summer tho and people died from having no electricity.From what they’re saying, the 100’s could be gone for a while.

I don’t remember how many records we broke this year but, we had a 113 consecutive days over a 100. The previous record was, 76, in 1993. We also had, 61 days, at 110, or above. I’ve seen 100 days without rain, a few years, since I’ve been here. I have never minded the heat, my guys used to give me crap cause I didn’t sweat much in Illinois and Wisconsin, and I remember in the 90’s working in 100+ with humidity. There were instances of people dying, we were always careful and conscious about staying hydrated, Gatorade, and if anyone felt anything, went into the basement of the house we were building and chill. Fortunately, I never had an incident. I will say, I have learned to sweat here! The guys I still talk with back there, say it’s about time! I’m assuming the deaths, from lack of air conditioning, from loss of power?Last year was the killer heat.....this summer wasn't nearly as bad and at least we got plenty of rain in the early summer but now it's been pretty dry.

Ours have dropped, 60’s in the morning, 80’s 90’s during the day. Supposed to hit 100’s , end of the week, then it should be good for a while.A couple beautiful days this weekend, high 60's to low 70's, sunny and light breeze. Great for October
