Donald,
Maybe we got your heat.
It usually doesn't heat up like this (we had record temperatures like this a few years ago) and when it does get hot, it's not generally until mid-July at the earliest (August is our hottest moth of the year... I'm afraid already!).
The mosquitos seem to be hungry here regardless of the humidity and temperatures too.
I'd be interested in seeing what your weather is like next year. We had record temperatures one summer and a monsoon (weeks of rain) the next. One winter, it snowed and iced (both odd for our location), the next, it was so mild the annuals didn't die back.
I also like the rain, but with the combination of heat, it's too humid for my liking though. I don't know what dry heat is like though.
That's interesting that your climate has changed so much that the vegetation has... "evolved"?
Hopefully it stays as it is for you guys. Cooler temperatures than normal and the rain, that is. Although, I'd appreciate it if someone took our heat.
