It is 100 degrees outside and feels like a lot more than that with the humiture. Our weatherman likes this word. I don't think it was part of the English language (I love to see the articles on new words and phrases that develop over time) when I was younger. I think we just said it was hot out. We are watering constantly as nothing can take the heat that we have had this summer. I think we had the hottest June on record and I don't see how July can miss that mark as Cincinnati just doesn't see this many days above 90 in a row.
So it is way to hot to take my camera for a walk further than the garden - and even that was a lot. I don't even hear kids out playing in this weather.
It's the same story here - some of our trees and shrubs are showing signs of stress, shedding leaves. Local farmers say they've lost an entire crop and will have to buy feed this fall.
When you have high humidity, it figures into the heat index and makes the temperature feel hotter than it is. I'm sure you're not used to that kind of heat in Ohio. The high 90s with high humidity is pretty common throughout the summer here in South Carolina, but I can't hack the heat like I used to. I know exactly how you feel! Lovely capture, Cathy! Hope you can get some relief soon! I passed grass and pine trees today that have turned dark rusty brown from our triple digit heat wave here. It's ugly!
A beautiful shot, despite the terrible heat. I hear that the US corn crops have been wiped out with the heat and that some of the kernels are almost baking on the cob.
Love the colours in this.
