    It’s happening across the midwest as well. It’s supposed to hit 102 on Monday in Nebraska.

        Southwest Ohio too. By like, 20 degrees fahrenheit more than Texas. It’s been in the mid/upper 90s for about a week and it’s not even in the typically hotter months (august/september) yet!!

        The issue will be if these temps become standard and consistent over a wider time period. For one, that could adversely affect crop growth and development.
