Some of y'all may know that summer here down South has been especially brutal. We're talking three months STRAIGHT of temperatures around 110F/43C. We can tell by now when it's only 98F/36.6C, and we laugh semi-hysterically about it. It is so hot, and so dry, that even Oklahoma native plants are flat-out dying. (Oklahoma plants don't do that.)
Today, it's 70F/21C, lightly overcast. It happened overnight, surprisingly gently. Usually our cold fronts are somewhat rambunctious, and bring tornadoes and severe thunderstorms.
I am literally fighting back tears, y'all. This weather is supposed to stay around an entire week.
