***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

Got the garage floor done on Monday. It's been the perfect few days to be able to leave the garage door open and park the cars outside while the floor cures. Painting the walls today and plan to move stuff back in tomorrow night. Really lucked out this week.

By the way, while I was watching Eye of the Storm: Storm Chasers, they advertised a new season of Eye of the Storm! I had thought that the Storm Chasers version was what we were getting this season. I think it starts this Sunday.

Get outside today if you can. Just about as close to a perfect day as you can get!

I don't know, sometimes it's nice to walk outside and feel the flesh melting off your bones.

We were talking last night, about all of June has been about as good as it can be. Lot of rain, but lots of 70s and not-humid and breezy too. Lot of perfect days this past month.

Agree completely! We’re talking among friends and said that we all agreed that this might be one of the best months of June that we can ever remember! (as long as we all ignore the final few days of the month, which look like we’ll be feeling some horrible humidity! At least we’re not in Florida or Houston, where it is like that every day for like 5-6 months!)

Looks like 4th of July weather in Iowa to me.

Sturgis Falls weekend guarantees either ungodly heat or an absolute monsoon. Looks like it chose fire this year.

Really going to test the strength of my lawn without being able to water.

 

[cydnote]

Two goals for the rest of the day: Finish mowing my acreage so I can park the mower for a couple weeks and put the window air conditioner in the shop so I can hide from the wife next week in comfort.

I thought El Niño was what brought the wet June to the Midwest. Isn’t that the normal pattern where El Niño is wet and La Niña is dry in the Midwest?

But I’d take 95 and dry over 95 and humid. Even if that means brown lawns.

Lawn will be fine. Watch it turn brown and sit back and relax. Might not have to mow much in July.
