And yet here in Dallas Texas has been on seasonably cool and I am not going to complain because this for me has been a miracle to have a spring this cool in Dallas and I really hope the trend continues right up until October .
We have been getting some rain lately but would like to have more .
Wow, i feel so bad for the half of the country in drought and i hope they get some kind of miracle where they all start getting rain ... we continue to get rain throughout the summer .

It actually got hot here for a minute here in Duluth, MN. Then the wind shifted to the east of of Lake Superior and the temperature plummeted. Lol

It’s been storming here in Texas. Temperature has been very pleasant so far. It will change of course. Enjoy it while I can.

So surreal to see temperatures on the map nearing 100 in Minnesota and by the Canadian border, while places down south are cool and wet. Please stay safe everyone, whether you're being affected by the heat, heavy rains, or drought conditions.

[luntershaptopfukinov]

Reminds me off this thing we used to have back when I was a kid... now what did they call that? Oh yeah, ....”SUMMER”

[Douglastrades]

Umm it's summer it gets hot, and in the winter it snows. What's the big deal?

[mr.counterpoint]

Damn. Summer heat always brings shootings in the cities.

[michellem]

This sux….it’s too early for this kind of heat

[kneesusforjesus]

Having wettest spring in like fifty years - TAOS NEW MEXICO - I’m here, right now, just rained an hour ago....

[Phl-ouvn]

I've never seen it this dry in the Northwest before. Went from snow to 90 F. within a few days.

I wonder why they wasn't reporting how unseasonably cool it has been up until today? It was 57° in VA last week. And Finland, tell us about how cold it is in Finland right now.

It’s actually chilly here in Southern California.
