Midwest - western suburbs of Chicago reporting in. We've had a lot of rain this summer, usually at night, although sometimes in the daytime as well. The grass is lush and green as are all the trees and shrubs and the weeds....well, they are growing like weeds. Hardly a typical August. The best part though is the temperature. It really cools off at night (in the 50's) and I love to sleep with the windows open and use some covers. We haven't had to use the air conditioner more than 5 times, all summer. I call this our Maine summer.
