Pawnee mentioned 1980. This summer does not even come close to how hot it was then. There were lots of nights the temperature was well over 100° Fahrenheit at 1 AM. There were no crops raised that year. Even the prairie hay only made about 50% of normal. I don't recall getting any measurable rain after June 1st. I think it finally rained a little in late September. I don't recall anyone mentioning the world ending. The old timers then talked about how much worse it was in the "dirty thirties". I believe it was 30 some odd days of 100 plus temperatures here. From what I've heard, Mt. Saint Helens had a lot to do with those temps.

100° with low humidity is really not bad at all....if it is cloudy with a good breeze it can be pretty nice. and 10 degrees F is really nice if its sunny and calm. I get your point, so lets be honest, high heat is worse than very cold. Both can kill, but there is very little one can do in the high heat while one can do all sorts of stuff in the very cold and still be very comfortable. Water is the source of life. If you live in area with high heat and very dry you live in one of the worst areas that you can live in the lower 48.

You can put on enough clothes to get warm. You can’t take off enough down here to cool off. And if you do the neighbors call the cops. Excellent point.

Our low temperatures for the last 10 days or so have been above 80. I don't mind the high daytime temps, but I really don't like that it never gets cool at night.
