***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

[Kinch]

Van Buren County has had probably less than a half inch the last month. Lawns are very brown.

 

[Hoggins]

It was really great scouting fields. Corn you are sweating bad and a heavy dew means you have soaked underwear

I always bring a change of clothes. When it’s gonna be this hot, you have to go when the dew is on too. End up soaked either way so might as well go in the morning

I only had a couple today. Wanted to finish last night but I could barely move at the end and these were close to the house.

 

[nfrine]

Sounds like it's gonna warm up...

The end of the world vibe is strong outside this morning.

 

[Clonehomer]

And of course, I have to mow today.

 

[BigJCy]

Sit on the couch in the air conditioning type of day

And of course, I have to mow today.

Nobody has to mow today. If it rained all day today would you still mow? There's always tomorrow, and if there isn't, it probably won't be your biggest issue

If it isn’t today, it won’t be until Friday. Not gonna take vacation time from work and the kids have too much going on in the evenings.

I thought 20 miles yesterday was bad but the 9 miles today seemed worse. Not sure how it got more humid.

 

[ackatch]

Was gonna let the 5 year old play in our inflatable pool this afternoon. Set it up this AM and when we got home from Costco I said "nope", and drained it. Too damn hot out

 

[FerShizzle]

Put the eldest on the rider they'll figure it out. If you have a push mower as long as they are over 5 they can tag team it and take turns.
It'll give them something to do during the day.

 

[ClonerJams]

The heat index is currently 120

its also really stressful on the grass to mow it in extreme heat.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Heat index is 122° in Johnston.
Went to brunch at Early Bird and the AC broke. It went from comfortable to everybody dripping in sweat within 3 minutes.

 

[dafarmer]

Spots in cornfields turning white.

I was sweating ballz on the rider an hour ago. I wanted to knock it out earlier, but my daughter had a sleepiest and there were 5 last teenagers sleeping in.
