What a Scorcher!

The heat index today was 104 in Gainesville. It's still 93. This is way too hot for May, even June. I don't know how anything is going to survive if this keeps up. ETA Just looked at tomorrow's forecast and they say the heat index will be 109. No climate change, my ass. This is absurd.

Yeah it was hot here today too but I didn't pay attention to the actual temps. It got really hot , then started thundering and rained a few minutes. I thought it was done. So a half hour later I went out to pot up some stuff and all of a sudden it starts pouring again. Rainy season must be getting ready to start.

Rainy season is from June 1st through December 1. It's also hurricane season, but we've already had two named storms this year, which is unusual for May. I'm afraid we're going to have a bad season. The last storm (Bonnie) formed in the Gulf and came across the peninsula. That's sort of scary. I hope we don't have a lot of those Gulf storms this year.
