We had a wet spring/early summer here in E Texas and rather mild temps, rarely over 95 and I don't think we reached 100, got close. Begin August and things started drying out, maybe 1/2" in Aug -Sept combined still hot but nothing like 2011 when temps were 110-115 at times and fires everywhere and an awful number of days temps were over 100. That year our grandson was born Aug 31 over in Miss. and we delayed going over to meet him for about six weeks until some rains started, thinking if some fires started nearby we could at least get something out of the house and possibly wet it down. Could smell smoke for many days and drove through areas where brush was burning along bypass around Kilgore, Tx.
High today was about 92, about like it has been running for the last couple of weeks. Should be 75-80. Weather says a cold front is coming and Sunday will be the last day of the heat.
