We are praying for rain in NC. We're having one of the hottest summers on record, and it's been extremely dry as well. August is normally one of our wetter months, but we've had only 0.26 inch of rain the entire month so far. On top of that, the temperatures have been in the 90s on the cooler days, and over 100 several days a week for the past 3 weeks.

My commute was more of the same. Very pleasant riding in to work, although humid, but I am dreading the ride home. The forecasters yesterday were saying the high today would be in the mid-90s, so I considered that doable. They changed the forecast overnight, and it has already topped 100 by early afternoon. I wouldn't have biked to work today if I had realized it was gonna get so hot. Guess I'll just have to tough it out.
