Misery here in Nashville. Hot as hell and humid. Very difficult or maybe even impossible for me to achieve a cool and dry smoke as I only smoke outside. Weather like this really tests a piper’s skill set.
Approaching drought conditions here in Eastern NC, farmers are concerned about the impact it's having particularly on corn and tobacco. My yard is pretty crispy, small chance of rain Monday then nothing for the next 10 days.
98f with a heat index of 105f yesterday In Virginia’s Piedmont Region and worse expected today.
This is the worst dry spell I can recall in decades.

Its been VERY hot here lately......South of Buffalo.
We aren't used to this type of heat this far North.
90+ every day with 60%-70% humidity.
Over the last couple weeks we have had a couple MINOR rains that did absolutely nothing except raise the humidity.
We grow our own food, and our animals food.
Luckily we have 9 ponds on the property, so watering most of the crops is easy enough....... except all the work it takes.
The last two weeks is the first time I've seen our cattle use the barns.
For 20+ years they never go in the barns!
They are a tough Irish breed that do not usually shelter......ever.
The barns aren't much cooler but its shady and there are fans.
The hogs and goats just hang out in the ponds.
The horses are wimpy, they stand in the barns and "require" daily ice cold hose baths. The dogs, of course, roll around in the ponds.
The next couple days say the highs will be upper 70s. The break will be nice.

Been humid the past couple days here in the mountains north of LA. But this afternoon, big monsoonal clouds rolled in, and at about 4pm, we got a sizeable soaking rain for about half an hour. Filled our 55 gallon rainbarrel up about a quarter of the way, which will take care of today's greenhouse watering quite nicely. It will also prevent the arsonists aka US Forest Service from lighting any more prescribed burns that "just get out of hand."
We've had rain the last few days due to a tropical storm hitting Mexico from the Gulf.
We will have the monsoons starting soon, hopefully this weather system will be a kickstart to a good season this year.

Here in my city, and province, we are enjoying a lull of bearable heat. Yesterday they said on tv, that a cold front is arriving, with rains. Which is fantastic for Spain. In addition to some incredibly pleasant temperatures for this time of the year, which is already approaching July. I am very sorry for the floods and the human losses of my colleagues in Europe, Switzerland, it was horrible. Prayers for the victims and their families.
The same in Italy, here in the north (centre/north) cold and rain. I'm sorry for the tourists, but if I think that in June temperatures often exceed 36/38° (100F), I can't help but be happy.
It's been between 90° and 100° with high humidity for the last week here in central Connecticut. I haven't been able to sit outside to smoke since last weekend. It's just brutal. We also had tornado warnings Saturday and Sunday. I smoked a cigar on a hike and a couple on a kayak jaunt, but the humidity really affected the quality of the smoke. No pipes though.
