Definitely not consistent with my own personal experience. The hottest times of the year seem to be getting milder over the last few years.
It’s late July and we haven’t broken 95° yet. Pffffft!
The political scientists and public administration majors are on the warpath again.
Did hit 100+ in several places in North Texas today, but was only 99 at DFW airport (I live nearby).
I recall 1980 when we had 52 or 54 days in a row of 100+ temps and quite a few above 110. I had just bought a new house on a 1/2 acre lot and had to water the newly hydro-mulched lawn by moving hoses and sprinklers around until wee hours of the morning to keep it from burning up.
It’s been a cold summer in the Seattle area. We had our pool open since Memorial Day. Today was the first day we were able to use it.
IT was so hot today...
***How hot was it?***
I saw a robin pulling a worm out of the ground with a potholder!
OK seriously...it’s been hot here in East Texas, but not abnormally so. I think in the past few days it finally topped 100º but just barely. Not sure, but according to weather guy predictions...
Not even close to 1997, when I saw my thermometer out back at 107º I know and I think 108º. The hottest I’ve seen since then was 104º a couple of times, and 102º maybe 103º a few times in north Louisiana from 2006 to 2012.
Here where I live now, a normal summer before 1998 was up to 104º or so, occasionally we’d see a really hot day get to 105º. Almost never higher, except that one summer, I think 1997. Days that got up to 102º were normal, and expected for this area, 104º wasn’t anything to write home about.
I haven’t seen it top 102º here since I moved back in 2012. I don’t remember for sure, but I think 101º was the highest we got last summer.
I’ve looked up a lot of info on the climate change issue, it’s definitely a scam, and I’m glad to see so many people here know it already.
It’s late, I’m not going digging for links right now, if anyone wants a few good links I’ll do some poking around later, post a reply and I’ll find it sometime in the next day or three. Please don’t put me on a ping list though...a simple ping here is ok, just not a list...I have enough going on already...Thanks
Also keep in mind I’m getting over a summer cold and the internet connection out here is flaky so it might take a couple of days before I get back in here.
Weather happens. We’re all gonna die.
Good night, all!
“We need to do more research. Give us your money.”
It was stopped by an ice floe, not sea ice.
In the arctic, the ice reaches its lowest extent in September, so in july there is still a lot of ice and ice floes drifting around and if your boat gets caught up in a floe you will have to hire an ice breaker to get you out. Or just sit there being drug around by the floe until the floe breaks up.
This is why Shell oil doesn't go into the arctic to drill until July and they take two ice breakers with them, just in case.
You can’t believe a single word these bastards say. Period. They are prolific liars with an agenda. They say there is no ice at the poles and pictures show more ice than ever. They say warmest year ever and we get record snowfall.
They are professional liars with an agenda. May they get their warming by burning in Hell.
50+ years ago I was in The Alps and we visited the Rhone Glacier cave! You mean to tell me the Rhone Glacier hasn’t melted yet? Wow!
I don’t think this is the hottest year ever for Texas. It is the end of July and I don’t think it has actually hit 100 in Houston yet. Maybe today’s the day but that is rare that it hasn’t happened yet.
Very nice climate/weather/temperature in northern California this year. I hope someone is updating Gore’s doomsday models with current data!!!
Warming speeds up, send money NOW!
