and it is only June. Daily high temperatures along the Rio Grande (Brownsville, Laredo, ElPaso) are in the high nineties up to about 105 F. There will be a slight break in about five days. But it's only June. August is gruesome, IMO.
Living in a camp with no control over temps, AC, access to food and drink, bathing, etc, has to be both miserable and potentially deadly.

Tonight will be 58.
Lots of wind, rain and clouds.
My heart goes out to all those held in concentration camps.
The hypocritical pro life people have got to be held accountable.

(21,607 posts)it has been so wet farmers can't plant corn, and the crop is way behind schedule.
everywhere you look global warming is putting more and more stress on the system and this is just the "honeymoon" phase of it all. by 2050 we will all be suffering.

field after field either unplanted or 3-4 inch corn....this is some of the best farm ground in the world

I think it will get bad long before 2050

They're more likely to get sick from being too cold than too hot, unless they throw some of them outside.
