London, a couple of 30°C days - first time I've felt comfortably warm this year, tbh, proper t-shirt weather.

I remember in the 80's, some trips with my father to the UK, seeing the milkman with his motorcycle cart, leaving the small bottles of milk at the entrances of the houses. That milk tasted very good. Also the armed British soldiers, even hidden in the bushes, in the wall of a school. The first hamburger I ate was in the port of Dover, in a McDonalds or Burger King, I can't remember.

Ah, the 1980s, when there were milk rounds and terrorist bombings. Nowadays, we have supermarkets and peace, and the entire British Army would fit into Wembley Stadium with room to spare.

I’m curious if people find that certain blends, cuts, or leaf smoke drier in hot and humid weather than others. I’m in Miami and as the summer weather approaches, it gets tough to keep a bowl dry and cool smoking outside. Any personal success stories in that area would be welcome.

Much needed rain incoming for the next few days here in Tasmania and the Eastern part of Australia has been drenched this past week. Temps have been cool at night with frosts but days have been making it to 16c with plenty of sun.

Australia is a land of contrasts, not just nationwide, but statewide.
Here in New South Wales (by no means the largest state, or even one of the larger states), we have the worst floods in over a century up north, while parts to the south and southeast are dust bowls.

Wisconsin side of the Menominee River, here, just a stone's skip across from the Upper Penninsula --

Overcast and drizzly.
Low 50s during the day, mid-30s at night.

Not very pleasant, but the prognosticators tell us that we can expect sunny mid-70s in about a week -- that will be welcome!
