"The global heat records reflect the influence of a natural climate cycle as well, with a strengthening El Niño event in the Pacific Ocean. El Niño tends to cause global average temperatures to climb.

We've seen the effects of this in the Midwest of the U.S. This has been one of the driest summers I recall in South Central Wisconsin.

What's up my Madison brother! Yeah she dry out. My lawn is brown and I refuse to water it, lol.

Staying cool here! Yeah, I don't think I've seen it this dry since 2012.

I caved, and watered a little bit over the course of the past two weeks (mostly when watering the garden, potted herbs & tomatoes in the backyard). Thankfully with that rainfall from a few days back, I'll probably mow the lawn tomorrow...first time in at least three weeks.
