No offense or anything but even if it is field corn, who do you think eats the cows the corn will (not) feed

If the cows don't get their corn, they'll just return to their natural diet of people, it's all good.

Always simpler when the food chains working on an eye for an eye type deal.

It can lead to the spread of Prion diseases yes, but that's a small price to pay for such an efficient system.

Austin just broke its historic 45-days in a row above 100 degree heat streak. The high was only 98 and that was due to storms that came in from the gulf!

looked up dewpoints

less than or equal to 55: dry and comfortable.

between 55 and 65: becoming "sticky" with muggy evenings.

greater than or equal to 65: lots of moisture in the air, becoming oppressive.

I was watching the local news and the sports guy asked the weather guy what a heat dome was. The weather guy started talking about microclimates in San Diego then said it was air that won't budge.

there were two stations in iowa yesterday reporting heat indexes of 150°, there are definitely some that are not reading humidity correctly. stations around them were reading heat indexes of ~115°, so still really lovely but not quite as apocalyptic

I'm probably moving from Chicago to North Carolina by the end of the year and considering staying put there for quite some time. It's been miserable in Chicago for the last week or so, and I'm starting to wonder if I haven't somehow made an incredibly terrible mistake . . . . :ohdear:

If you're moving to the mountains, you'll be fine. If you're moving to the piedmont or the coast, enjoy sweating buckets the instant you go outside from June-September.

Air is capable of holding more moisture when it is hot.

It’s not actually a good thing when your air at ninety percent relative humidity is warmed to one hundred and fifteen degrees Fahrenheit, but it will make the RH drop to a mere forty‐four.

We could instead talk in terms of absolute humidity, mass of water in a volume of air, but dew point has more direct relevance.

Dew point is superior, it is a conserved metric. Relative humidity is... Relative. Relative to the temperature. If you want to know the amount of water vapor in the air, you use dew point (or mixing ratio). Here, look.

This article talks about it likely being miscalibrated sensors, but corn sweat could be contributing.
