I knew it was hot when the garden was dried out after being watered

temperature. Even the weather app on the computer shows 108 degrees.
Monday through Wednesday we were between 95 & 98 for the high each
day.

How is the drought affecting England, France & Germany? BBC world
news was saying it's bad there. Anyone from those countries on this
group being affected?

Well, the BBC was reporting horrible drought conditions in the Scottish
Highlands all through the Spring -- fires on the moor etc. When I got there
in early May it rained every bloody day except one for two weeks. I would
have been happier had the drought continued for a bit more since I was
hiking from Fort William to up past Inverness and I really hate damp walks
with raingear constantly going on and coming off.

Here in E. Tennessee we've had more rain, in bursts, than we can
practically use since the big April storms and continuing through last
Friday with flash flood warnings interspersed with storm warnings.
