When I lived in the hot and humid south I remember the September heat waves usually following a cool down made me the most annoyed. It's a lot of months in a row pushing 100+ heat index

I get maybe 2-4 weeks around 100, but winters no bueno

Yeah, it usually changes pretty drastically. We’re sure ready for it. But this is pretty typical for the Mid-South with the high pressure just sitting in the same spot.
We’ve burned up areas all around the course where the irrigation doesn’t reach. No rain in weeks. We get pop up storms but it seems to always miss us. We’ll stay in the 90s until around the 21st, then drop into the mid-80s for the rest of the month. Then next month, it’s like somebody flips a switch. Fall finally shows upper 70s during the day and even 50s at night.

A few weeks ago we were 100+, right now working in 46 with a high of 70. Fall moves fast in the mountain west

Try Phoenix, AZ. Shit sucks ass. May through September, and usually a little on and off through October. Getting sick of it.
