Hot enough for you?

Geez. It's on days like this that I realize how much I like our 'crappy' Toronto weather.

From Texas, it is difficult to have sympathy. Lol

I get that. I spent years in Dallas and DFW area. What I liked about Dallas summers was the heat and low humidity. Couldn't bear Houston summers. Still, one gets used to just about any weather. But when you go from balmy mid-70s and low-80s to 90s that feel like hundreds, that's quite a shock... Never water my plants twice a day but had to do it today as some were as shocked as I was.

Not yet..... really want some triple digits

On a related note, will blackberries burst in high heat situations? I have been eyeballing my first PrimeArk Freedom and hoping it doesn't get destroyed over the next week with heat.

when everyone thinks Iowa heat isn’t close to southern states, our weatherman states every year the corn sweating causes us to have tropical levels of humidity on top of the hot days of summer. Our corn is just starting to get chest high and will eventually put out as much moisture as living near the coast line for 1-2 months. Shows average humidity at 70-80% for the next ten days with some days up to 94%

Interesting. I've never heard of corn causing that effect.

Yep it’s a real thing that sucks. One year they calculated out how much it was and it was in the millions of gallons of water lol

It’s very hot here now. 15 minutes ago it was 90°F now it’s 92°F and climbing. Have no idea what the heat index is but it sure feels hotter than the temperature says. What’s worse is there’s not a cloud in the sky, just clear blue and stagnant air, not so much as a leaf is moving, UGH!

Corn sweat shows through July to August averaging 3,000-4,000 gallons of water per acre per day into the air.

Here’s an interesting article, 51 billion gallons of water per day in Iowa alone.

Stop Making Fun Of Your Quad Cities Friends, Corn Sweat Is A Real Thing

As crazy as it sounds, corn sweat is a real thing. In the Midwest states like Iowa and Illinois, corn releases moisture into the atmosphere making this heat wave worse.
