Just stumbled across this:

Now I know we might have mixed opinions about this country, but I feel sorry for the poor people because all that happens in NK is not their fault and this will result in severe famine

Yep, the heat here in town is pretty brutal. Not to mention I live in a depression near a creek so my humidity values are typically higher than what the airport reports.

My gauge read close to the same way complete with warning on Saturday.

On Sunday, I made a shopping trip to Oklahoma City, and later that afternoon drove back home through a few light showers.  No lightning and thunder associated with them.  So I wasn't surprised there was only .02" recorded in my rain gauge when I got home.

Elsewhere in Oklahoma, some of the storms turned quite windy and some drivers had close calls with a row of utility poles blowing down. One lady said as she was driving a line fell on her back window, knocking it, making her stop and then a pole fell in front of the car.

The cold front wasn't very strong temp wise, but at least it was strong enough to knock out the heat advisory.

Some of the storms also packed some rain, but mostly confined to to the southern half of the state:

Based on what I prefer, today was a very nice day. After several days with relatively high temperatures (though probably nowhere close to what some of you experience these days) it got significantly colder last night and today's high was only around 17C (62F), windy, with drizzle and occasional heavy rain during the whole day. Similar conditions are forecasted for the upcoming 2-3 days.

My attic is near 130F, while inside is running hard to keep 75ish. Heat index 109, wetbulb 79F It's still way more humid than it should normally be.

I can remember one July day like that in Oklahoma.  It was unbelievable.  But it was so long ago, it must have been at least 25-30 years ago.

Today, probably the best day of the week here, currently sunny and 19°C (66°F). Best day in terms of sun that is, i don't like too high temperatures either.  :-)
So far the highest this month was 29.3°C (85°F) at my station and 27.5°C (82°F) officially, quite unusual that we didn't hit the 30s yet. Usually we can expect one or two days per month with highs in the low sometimes mid 30s (C). On the other hand i don't really mind, since my preferable summer temperature range is in the mid 20s (~75°F).
Rainfall has caught up the past weeks too currently standing at 99 mm (3.9 inches).

Some indications of a flip coming.  Highs showing in the low 80s for early next week.  CPC 14 day forecast shows 'below normal' chances increasing.

There was a big Slight Risk area for tomorrow that is now gone.  Wonder if they'll put it back up later.

The heat dome will soon move to California and Oklahoma will benefit well from it.  Hopefully, it comes with enough rain to prevent a drought from starting again.

1:35PM here and based on the values I see for the country as a whole, this is very likely going to be the warmest day of the year so far :( :( :(

Light rain and one of the coolest days of the summer here.  The grass may stay green during August if trends hold.

Right now @8:05 PM

Partly cloudy and 21.5°C (71°F) at the moment. The max today was 22.6°C (73°F).
Very satisfied with the current temperatures, luckily the heat stays away from the North of Germany- the southern parts (especially Bavaria) had highs up to 36°C (97°F) yesterday and still up to 32°C (90°F) today.

Warmest day of the year to date. Some places, not far from where I live, observed 38.5°C (101.3F, absolute max ever for the Czech Republic being 40.4C - 104.7F). At home 34C (93F) and at work 33.5 (92F).... fortunately it should hopefully get colder tomorrow.

Weird how things work.  Last Saturday morning, July 29th, we set a record 'warm low' temperature record of 77.

24 degrees different on successive Saturday mornings.

73 degrees now in late afternoon and I think that's the highest it's been all day.

First 10 days of August come in at 4.1 below normal.  Any bets we'll make up that deficit in the next 2/3rds of the month?
