Upper 60s for me

Gerald Smith

I hate extreme temps

Jeff Sanders

Not too warm in the sun, but at that temp it's 60 in the shade. Perfect.

This weather has nothing to do with climate change

Jeff Sanders

Please explain. Central Oregon always gets thunderstorms. We didn't have the 2nd largest juniper forest in the world until we started putting out fires. If you mean the constant rise in temperature every year, we are exasperating that. All the ice, is melting.

Have you noticed the smoke from prescribed burns this week?

Yes I saw it Thursday morning and saw the Air quality numbers were high. It would be good to know about these burns in advance so we know what it is from, before seeing it and wondering!

Dianne Price

Can smell it.

Duane Wyman

Yep, very noticeable. Must have a BIG carbon foot print!

Latterdaysaint

Climate change is a hoax

Debra Sun-Mills

Out in DRW, smoke was awful this morning! Burning eyes and scratchy throat. One reason I hate summer is all the smoke and not being able to open our windows. ☹️

Judy Ostrom

Yes, and it is friggin nasty!!!!

Off the path

Do some forest management

Latterdaysaint

There is still forest mismanagement going on

SunnySunshinestein

Prescribed burns ARE forest management.

With global warming giving us hotter summers here, the long term drought, and then a whole bunch of precipitation recently - though not nearly enough to relieve the drought - I expect we'll have loads of vegetation growing, just waiting for a lightning strike or careless human to ignite.
