Is it still June?

The heat is on in southcentral Kansas. We went from the mid 80s a couple of weeks ago to near 100 degrees this week.

Seriously? Are we still in June, or did we skip the rest of the month and jump to the end of July and early August? Of course we expect this heat in the summer, but in June? In case you're wondering, the temperatures are usually in the lower to mid 90s on average in June...with extreme heat considered upper 90s.

The heat this week is so intense, it prompted the National Weather Service to issue an excessive heat warning. You can expect temperatures near 100 with the heat index between 105 and 110 degrees.

The excessive heat warning continues until Thursday night, but it will likely be extended. The forecast through Sunday calls for high temperatures of 100 with the heat index five to 10 degrees higher. So, lots of pool time for me and my family and lots and lots and lots of water and air conditioning. I hope you can enjoy the same!
