I love it when thy compare temps day to day...year to year. So July 12 it was 90...same day 50 years ago it was 89...so climate change says the world is hotter now.
Corn grows better in hot weather!
One would have to look closely. This summer is going to be under la niña conditions, which generally doesn’t suggest heat waves. My guess is that NOAA simply follows the script here, harvests the media reaction to their prediction, and whatever happens in the end, no one will recall whether NOAA got it right or not.
It’s all about solar activity, and sunspots are the harbingers of hot weather.
Lots of sunspots means warmer temps. See for yourself here:
