Oh my! It was 44 here this morning--an overnight low of 46 is predicted for tonight. I couldn't live where you do. Summer hasn't even started yet.

105 is starting to get warm, but we don't typically see that until July/August, and then it's only for a few days. But when we do the humidity is only 15% or so. What's your humidity to go with your 105? We also get 40-50 degree temp swings between day and night during our heat waves. So even when it's hot in the day, the nights will cool down nicely and comfortably.

Sheesh. Its not even that hot out here in the desert. We've barely topped 80 so far this year. (I think our humidity today was 13%)

It's getting warm in South AR, but I'll take it. Now if I can just get a little dry ground. We've had water under the house for going on 8 weeks, starting to think I should have left the floats under it.

Last year the water got up to the bottom of the floor joists, it rarely gets that high. We've lived here for six years now and have to boat in and out daily, the perils of being a river- rat. 😉

I'm glad I'm not that close to the river here but it never rises that high, maybe a couple feet but controlled by the dams..

Actually the water is about 20' above normal, it's been at least 15' high since Thanksgiving.
