It's been warmer than average in August so far but not noticeably painful.
That's how Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln described the month so far. He explains it hasn't been noticeably above normal but so far it's been wet and warm.
The traditional oppressive heat of August has largely stayed away but Shimon notes some warm nights at the start of August have helped the average temperature trends stay high.
The above normal trends for the rest of the month and in fact, have almost done an entire 180. We'll have more from Shimon Monday on Regional Radio News.
