North central Illinois as close to the Wisconsin border to qualify as a cheddarhead if Wisconsin residents weren't so literal minded.  Storms here have been very patchy...some folks flooded and others droughty.  I nag friends/customers to put rain gauges in their gardens and then marvel at the difference in precipitation across three counties.  Note to citizen science growers: you can join the CoCorhs precipitation reporting network (Cooperative Collaborative rain hail snow network)...very helpful for the weather geek that you become when your life depends on growing.  Trying to get second season crops through this all day/all night heat is challenging...but I see that NOAA has the entire top third of the country in the "above normal" temperature blob through October at least, so maybe the broccoli et al will have an extended end of season.
Shawnee, zone 5 and never content with the weather except on the days when I'm too busy to notice it.

Shawnee,

What part of the country are you folks in?  We are very humid here, too, though not as warm as a month ago.  Thank God!  The skeeters keep trying to pick me up and carry me away!  Other than in the flooded out parts of our fields, the crops look very good.
