Last year's ragbrai stayed at 80 or under every day, and a lot of mornings it was in the low 60s.
Obviously different this year.

I see this narrative that summer is default unbearable in IA and just don't get it.
Well over half the weeks since June have been cooler than I would figure.

It's hot sometimes and cool sometimes. Go figure- weather changes, unlike the temp narrative.
