Yeah, we hit a 100 or so a few weeks ago, and along with the drought it's
been miserable.

This year has been bad as well with those of us who have allergies.

I don't recall it being this bad for a good number of years.

The jet stream has brought your rain here. We've had the wettest April
and June on record, and July had double the recent average rainfall. The
last few days have been mostly dry, but the forecasts all say more rain
on the way, and it looks like it's just arrived.

All our monsoons have been shifted north by several hundred miles, resulting
in flooding and deaths in N. Korea, and very very hot, very dry weather in
S. Korea. Our temps have been in the high 30's C (over 100F) here.. which is
totally unprecedented, as normally it can never get above 32C (about 90F)
before offshore winds kick in and cool it down a few degrees. I'm gonna
REALLY hate to see our electric bill this month... normally it's around
US$800 for all our properties, but I expect it to be well over $1000 this
month, possibly significantly more... Just to keep our office and one
other room down to 28C.
