Bs- we had Temps that high last year, the year before etc. It’s summer, and usual,y every sum er we near 100 degree week once or twice a summer- it’s what summer does! I was just as miserable last year during a week long stretch of 90-100 degree days with high humidity as I am right now.

The gaslighting by the hysterical feckless left just never ceases!

The west has been having snow in the mountains, why are they not highlighting that?

And just when did 90 plus degrees become “intense heat”? Yes itshot, but again, it’s summer, and that is what summer brings, nearly every year!

I would be surprised with any year that stayed under 80 degrees and low humidity all summer and fall

Midwest, Northeast to experience hottest weather in years as temps near 100 F

I'm in the Northeast. The latest 15 day forecast shows the highest high of 92 degrees and that's on the fifteenth day from today.

In YEARS!!! That’s way beyond the recollection of most Democrat voters. They can’t even remember what the economy was like 4 years ago.

The glorious summer of 1988! Six solid weeks of 90-100 degree temps in the DC area, not a drop of rain. That’s going to be hard to beat.

The next year’s summer was miserable, rained nearly every weekend like clockwork. I had to do a top-end rebuild of my 1980 Honda Accord’s carbeurator with it sticking half way into the garage.

I do too. Cleveland had its all time high back then, 104 degrees. Never been close since. Other than the 90 degree benchmark, I notice a complete lack of data or precise predictions in this scare story. This is typical of the alarmists. Refuse to be pinned down.

Hottest weather in ‘years’. Which means some years ago it was hotter.

When I was a kid we lived in inner city St. Louis near the Anheuser Busch brewery.
In 1954 the official high temp got up to 115 degrees.
It stayed hot into the night (brick flats were like ovens) and we only had a window fan.
We finally gathered some quilts and went to the park and slept on the grass.

"Temperatures will build to their highest marks in years across the Midwest and Northeast..."

Yup. It's called "summer".

Oddly enough, the opposite happens in January when temperatures plunge into the single digits, also known as "winter".

1988 might be the year it was 110 in VA. The pet Rabbit died.

Me too. That I could deal with easier, being in my 20s... Now I have COPD and with the humidity and no AC, it is difficult. I manage though. It helps to focus on my mom and the dogs and their comfort.
