This will be remembered as a wet and stormy summer with high humidity. Yes there were some high heat at times but that's not what stands out the most. If you ask most people's opinion of this summer, they'll probably would not give it a great rating, too much rain and cloudy days, major Holiday's ruined by bad weather and plenty of storm and flooding related issues. Our cane was a dud for the most part. We had an awesome severe storm here which was a definite bonus but I would personally prefer more classic summer sunshine as well.
