Don't tell anybody because it is embarrassing. While much of the country is suffering quite high temperatures, it is 71°F here. This morning, on my walk, I met a friend who complained that she was cold. It was a degree or two less that 60. Meanwhile, much of the country is experiencing too much rain but we are having a mild drought, less water than we used to. We have a Great Lake to our immediate north and another to our immediate east but much of our weather comes down from central Canada.
We keep getting some of that Canadian wildfire smoke but it is intermittent. We have had many days with rather strong and persistent breeze. Most of the time, our air quality is good or excellent. Sometimes we have a morning or afternoon of mediocre air quality. People tend to associate Wisconsin with cold winters. While we have some cold, it is not like our first winter of 40°below and some days of windchill of 80°below, more than 50 years ago. In general, I think our weather is fine.
