I saw these pics the other day. The afternoon dad and I raked & baled this field the actual temp was 102. I was told the heat index was 112+. I went to town that morning and bought a canopy for the old ford so dad was in the shade all afternoon. It was hot that day. I sweated out water as fast as I drank it.
How big is that field Peanut? Hard to tell from the pics, but I'd guess 35-50 acres.
It isn't that big... shaped like a triangle, wide at the top, narrow at the bottom.
Another view top to bottom...
Dad and I leased this field for about 20 years. The owner finally sold his country cottage.

Still s decent size field. We used to work a couple of 15-20 acres fields and neither one looked that big.
Thats a nice place.

97 today's high, felt like 107. clouds and thunder but no precip. Oh, I am hearing thunder, maybe there will be some after all.
We had thunder storms roll thru yesterday afternoon. Heavy rains and high winds within 5 miles of the house. We got thunder and sprinkles for a few minutes.

Sounds liek our weather for past couple years. Parts will get rain with the thunder and lightening storms.We stay in a draught and just get the flash and noise, no rain.
This just makes growing insside with little water look even better for the future.
Its sure not our parents weather.Then they had dust bowls and draugts and floods too so maybe it is.

Good news Patch,we are having a little rain now too. Hope it stays here long enough to wet the ground more than just top layer.

This is worse than quarentine.
5 minutes outside , the sun feels like a torch.

Its only 82° but humid. Humidity sucks!
Hot and humid, thunderstorms popped up all around during the day but no rain here. It just made the humidity higher, down right steamy.
Same here. .11" of rain overnight. Low ninety's and 60-70% humidity. Just nasty. Makes me greatful for AC.
99.1 °F today, and it ain't even August yet!
I'm luvin' it!
(don't worry, I will pay the price for it. I pay the electric bill for the A/C to keep the women cool)
The new A/C system, installed last October - Priceless!
Another small shower yesterday... weather pattern holding... Afternoon thunderstorms, temps in the low 90's, steamy weather.

Even if it's still light out. Too hot during day. She takes a morning constitutional around the block.
To the park? Nope.
She suffers the back yard but smells the living mice.

Predicted high of 100 here today, but I think it only got to 96. I normally like to get all my chores and errands done as early as possible so I can sit inside with the evaporative cooler running. There were some challenges to being able to do that before about 11:30 today.
It was when I worked with my uncle, doing custom haying, that I figured out that water doesn't necessarily work for dehydration for me, that I needed something with electrolytes, if I was out in the heat of the day, which is one of the necessities when haying. I am always looking for shade on a hot and sunny day. I can appreciate what a difference the cover made for your dad on that day.
.35" rain this morning. 95 and 70+ humidity. Just plain nasty out. Didn't even get through picking the cukes and peppers before I was soaked in sweat. UGH.
Upper 80s today with humidity around 80%. The weekend is going to be better low 80s and humidity in the 60s.
Seeing the other posts I will refrain from complaining about the heat and humidity.

No rain in sight for next 10 days, and some 100 def days next week.

Tomatoes are loving it.
