Aug. 1. We’re not exactly readers of the Farmer’s Almanac, and there is no real scientific evidence to support this belief, but it sure feels like temperatures tend to ease around these parts come August.

Either that or we’re just used to the heat by now. After another hot one today, we’ll finally get a break in temperatures this weekend. Feels like football season is around the corner.
