Yeah, but that’s not completely unusual for the first week of August, is it? What’s unusual about the temps here in South Texas is that it has been 5-10 degrees above normal now for the last almost 2 months. Here in San Antonio we’ve broken the record for the number of 100+ degree days and we still have at least 4 to 6 weeks left before we are beyond 100 degree days.
That’s what our weather is doing here in Michigan (haven’t seen 90s for a week or so), although not quite as high, our evenings are dropping to those same temperatures.
