Dry weather across the globe

The summer of 2025 has been very warm to hot across much of the western U.S. Here in Coeur d’Alene, we’ve already had six days with high temperatures at or above the 90-degree mark. Our hottest day was 96 degrees July 1.
In California, highs in the Central Valley topped 100 degrees in late June and early July. As I mentioned in an earlier article, the eastern portion of the country has been dealing with oppressive heat and high humidity levels, and the official start of summer began around two weeks ago. That first big heatwave of the summer season began in the U.S. Great Plains and then expanded into the Midwest and Great Lakes before moving across the East Coast. In addition to the heat, we’ve also seen disastrous and heartbreaking flooding east of the Rockies, especially in central Texas.
