Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Weather Authority Insider Blog: Meteorological Summer 2026 recap (kyma.com) — Yuma just wrapped up its second-hottest meteorological summer on record, with both daytime highs and overnight lows running above normal and rainfall well below average. The blog explains how the last four summers here have all ranked among the hottest, and shows that Yuma County was significantly warmer and drier than much of Arizona overall.
2. Arizona Edition: AG Mayes on AgTech cut, Republican candidates in Yuma (kawc.org) — Yuma County listeners can hear Arizona Edition dive into the state's termination of five AgTech farm leases in Yuma County and what Attorney General Kris Mayes says about it. The program also recaps a Yuma‑area Republican candidate meet‑and‑greet and introduces the new Yuma County Chamber of Commerce director, with details on when and where to tune in locally.
3. Sultan of Slowjamastan visits with Yuma mayor (yumasun.com) — Yuma residents just got a tongue‑in‑cheek diplomatic visit from the self‑proclaimed "Sultan of Slowjamastan," who met with Mayor Douglas Nicholls during a border‑area tour. The satirical "micronation" is drawing global attention online, and its leader highlighted Yuma in social media posts while promoting their humorous, fictional country and YouTube series.
4. USBLS Releases Monthly Employment Reports (dwmmag.com) — Yuma appears near the top of the nation's unemployment rankings, with the latest federal report listing the metro area at 18.9%, just behind El Centro's 19.7%. While most regions saw modest changes, this snapshot underscores how challenging the local job market remains compared with other U.S. cities and Arizona communities.
