***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

Agreed but, the umps have it worse. No cool down in dugouts. They had 2 suffer heat issues on Monday. One went to the hospital

The ump at my nephews U12 state game on Saturday night went down with heat exhaustion. They called the game for 30 minutes and said they'd pick up an ump from another game. Nobody showed up so they waited around for 30 and finished with the one ump they already had. With the amount of games going on all weekend for state tourneys, I can imagine those people are working the entire day.

2.5 inches last night in Grimes (NW side of town)

With this rain and the last one, we got a little water in our basement. Not a ton, but enough to make the concrete floor wet along one wall. Not sure if these are anomalies or we need to see if there's a bigger issue. :-/
Our basement used to be this way. Water level would come up and it would seem in from floor cracks and wall cracks. Dehumidifiers couldn't keep up.

Got a new water heater 2 years ago. Rheem heat pump water heater. Acts like a dehumidifier and it eliminated that issue for us. We got a big rebate and prices have gone up 20-30%. From an electricity standpoint, ours would pay for itself is 5-6 years. Current costs with no rebate it would be double. Once you take into account how much electricity savings for not running a dehumidifier, it's probably already paid off for us.

If you have an old water heater, might be worth investigating.
