A graphic from Channel 13 WTHR (the NBC affiliate in Indianapolis), for "NEXT WEEK"
It shows a map of the eastern half of the United States, covered in blotchy green, with an intense solid mass of dark green covering Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and parts of Missouri and Iowa. (This area is outlined in a neon green dashed line). Inside the line are assorted sizes of corn emojis, along with an assortment of temperatures ranging from 77-81F, indicating the dew point temperature. (The point at which the air is completely saturated. The higher the dew point, the more miserably humid it is.)
There is an emoji face that is turning orange-red, and sweating, and panting with its tongue out, and looking quite distressed.
At the top of the map is a color bar ranging from very dark red on the left ("very dry") to blackish grey in the middle ("dry") to dark green on the right ("rainforest").
The header is a black banner with the words MORE CORN SWEAT, with little corn stalk icons on the left of it, and a bunch of water ("sweat") droplets to the right. MORE is in white, CORN is in yellow, and SWEAT is in green.
There is a period during the summer in the American Midwest where the sustained heat causes the vast amount of corn being grown to release enough moisture into the air to (allegedly) produce its own mini climate zones.
This graphic, though... π€£
