The Shenandoah Valley is in the middle of a heat wave along with much of the East Coast with temperatures today and tomorrow hovering around 100 degrees. As a result, a heat advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service and Harrisonburg's WHSV TV-3 has posted the following:*** A Heat Advisory has been issued for Page, Shenandoah, Warren, Clarke and Frederick counties until 11 p.m. Wednesday. High temperatures are expected to approach 100 degrees Tuesday and Wednesday, and increasing humidity will push heat index values higher. It is recommended that residents drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned buildings if possible, stay out of the sun and check up on relatives or neighbors, especially the elderly. ***It hit 100 degrees at our house today at noon. The air conditioning has been running practically non-stop for days. When the wind kicks up outside, it's nice in the shady back yard but when it's still, as it is today, the most comfortable place is inside in the AC.
It's dry in our corner of the world with brown, crunchy grass and little rain. We're using self-imposed water conservation since we're on a well. We don't normally water our garden so no H2O is being used on that and, as a result, it is dry and the veggies are parched.
Here's hoping we'll have an early, cool Fall as we make our way through a hot, dry summer....
