Could potentially go 14+ days with no precip. Even with the smoke today, it was beautiful. It definitly has been feast or famine precip wise the past few months. It hasn't rained often but when it has, 3 inches+  has fallen 3 different times in less than a few hours, when rain chances were forecasted at 30%.

Day 12 of no rain. If it doesn't rain on Tuesday we might be looking at a month straight of no precip after getting close to 5 inches on july 28th. It doesn't get any better. The humidity hasn't been that bad either.

I made a post in the other thread. Over the last 3 years, Detroit has seen a total of 26 days of 90+ while Chicago has seen 67. This year, Detroit has seen 10 to Chicago's 23.

The heat ridge/dome seems to sit/max out just to our west, with the major heat staying in the middle of the country. I'd imagine this is most often the case and normal.

Chicago averages more 90s than us, but the last 3 years the difference has been far greater than normal

Like clockwork the first week of August the crop dusters invade. They were extra heavy this year. I saw as many as 6 flying around from my back porch one morning. Same time every year, free airshow lol.
