When is comes to weather Joe Bastardi is the man.
Texans baked in 105 temperatures in 1935....without air conditioning! We’d never make it today.
All a bunch of wusses. I live in a place called Bullhead City, AZ where the AVERAGE temperature this month is 122 degrees.
Long before there were such things as global warming or climate change.
—there are still remaining 1930’s high records in the upper midwest-
—Lead, SD has highest and lowest temps yet in 1936-—minus 36F and 100F-—
Any predictions for this winter yet?
Texans baked in 105+ temperatures in 1936...without air conditioning! (We’d never make it today.) The heat wave was nationwide and over 5000 Americans died that summer. This was during the dust bowl and the Great Depression, yet we don’t read about riots during these calamitous times. How small our national character has shrunk since that age of tough Americans.
No hotter place on the face of the earth than DC in the summer. Mom and Dad used to drag us up there on vacay every couple of years.
If the glo-bull warmers had been around then they would have been committing mass suicide so as not to burn up in the inferno which was to come, which did not come.
Listening to her experiences growing up out there in the early 1900's was unlike anything I'd ever read in a book.
Just remember that SecState Kerry says that air conditioning is a major contributor to global warming and should be banned. I wonder if he order the A/C in the State Department turned off this week to show he is leading the battle?
A octogenarian told me that here in North Louisiana, during the drought of about 1896 (spanned here and states north and west) it did not rain from Easter until Christmas.
Some weather reporter, when he’d give the record temps, would always talk about “the dirty 30s”
