We've been experiencing an horrific weather event since at least April 15, almost no rain, searing temperatures, and I have been commenting on the lack of insects and how dark blue the sky has appeared to me. Even though today was very hot, the sky was a lighter shade of blue. I fish very often and today the fish were more active than I've seen in months. There was more humidity in the air. The cicadas, which are prollific in the Kansas City area but sporadic this year, started singing like crazy this evening. I have this hunch, a hope that the giant high pressure ridge may FINALLY be starting to break down. There still is a prediction of searing heat tomorrow through Wednesday, but today felt different. Almost imperceptible, but different. Hope this major heatwave and drought will ease, and relief come to the parched Great Plains.
