In Iowa spring means new life: April showers that bring flowers that bloom in May. Although it is not April, May, or June (when this picture was taken) I am definitely feeling nostalgic for a midwest spring.
For the next eight months - all the way until late November - the high temperatures in this city will be above 90. Think about that: 8 months in a row with every day above 90. For five of those months every day will be above 100. And most days of June, July and August will exceed 110.
Once the hot weather settles in there is not much variability. In Iowa there can be a high of 85 one day and 55 the next. That doesn't happen here. It's hot, miserably hot or unbearably hot. Take your pick.
Oh, how I miss spring in Iowa.
And Iowa misses you.
