WHOA- 95-100 degrees and hi humidity for the upcoming week. It's just sweltering hot in SE Minnesota, dangerous for livestock, frankly dangerous for people. No rain for weeks.
What are you guys doing to keep cool?

Humidex hit 117F here yesterday - doing all exercise and outside work in the early AM and after sundown, and everyone is sleeping during the high afternoon - 3 minutes outside in the covered screened porch was enough to start me sweating and Duke panting. Not looking forward to this month's AC bill, for sure

Yeah it helps, ALOT. Though it does start to get to bathwater temps here about this time of year (86'F). I have a pool mister running now that keeps the temps of the water below 90 when it gets hot.
For those of you that have pools and don't like the way the temps get up in the summer, I highly recommend this product. http://www.mistcooling.com/pool_cool.htm
I've got a 44ft setup and it drops the back porch temp about 10 degrees in the late afternoon, and makes the western side of the house a lot more comfortable. For those of you in a lower humidity areas you should see an even greater temp drop. (It took me about 20 minutes to get it installed too!)
It is not the actual temperature the problem it is the range we get. Here from -35oC to about 40oC. Over a couple of day we can have a 20oC difference.

I'm getting a ton of housework done It's even too sticky out to take the kids swimming! We are so very lucky that our cows are keeping cool enough. Amazingly, everyone seems very comfortable. We switched feeding to nights and are still averaging 90 lbs a day! Completely baffling us. I'm thinking an Antarctic vacation is sounding pretty good about now though. I'd take -30 over walking outside and feeling like I stuck my nose face into a steam room. There is only so many layers one can remove before getting in trouble!
Goodness, what a bunch of whiners! This is typical weather for Houston. It builds 'character'.
Umm, we have different "character building" season in the north. It's called winter and brings temps in the single digits or below with a foot or two of snow. We deal with that so we can avoid the triple digit temps in the summer and actually enjoy ourselves for a season
