Sorry about all that global warming up there.

A combination of heat and humidity so extreme that it’s unendurable isn’t just a problem for the future — those conditions are already here, a new study finds. Off-the-chart readings that were previously thought to be nearly nonexistent on the planet today have popped up around the globe, and unyielding temperatures are becoming more common.
Extreme conditions reaching roughly 115 degrees Fahrenheit on the heat-index scale — a measurement of both heat and humidity that’s often referred to as what the temperature “feels like” — doubled between 1979 and 2017, the study found. Humidity and heat are a particularly deadly combination, since humidity messes with the body’s ability to cool itself off by sweating. The findings imply that harsh conditions that scientists foresaw as an impending result of climate change are becoming reality sooner than expected.
“We may be closer to a real tipping point on this than we think,” Radley Horton, co-author of the new study published today in the journal Science Advances, said in a statement. His previous research had projected that the world wouldn’t experience heat and humidity beyond human tolerance for decades.

Yup, this heat’s really killing me. 24f overnight, 2 inches of snow, it’s 34 right now and snowing. No break for the next three days. I’m sweatin’.
LOL! Yup. A trip from Cocoa to Orlando could get real ugly at the “right” times of the year.
We’re getting forecast for Monday-Tuesday snow around 6,200 elev which is about 1,000 above us.
Meanwhile, the hottest years for Tulsa OK on record are in these years. For some reason I cannot post the graph properly. It wants to scrunch up the numbers and dates. The 1930s were hotter than most in the summer months and 1972 April. I remember that one!

Remember, the CDC is not a government agency. They are a bunch of political corrupt pharmaceutical owned sock puppets. Take a bunch of left wing doctors on the take, give them an official sounding organization name and you have the CDC.
Not odd for 6,200 ft.
It also matters who is funding the "study".
It was 28 degrees here this morning. Yes, on May 9.
...................................................
Hell, it was 28 degrees on my farm this morning down here in western Maryland!
Not around here fer sure.
Had snow flurries in Pennsylvania this afternoon.
.................................................
Had snow last night here in Garrett County, MD that covered over the ground, roof, cars, everything! Temperature at 7am was 28.
Nothing like some snow on your apple blossoms in May to convince you it’s getting too hot.
The Niger Delta in Nigeria is a hell of humidity, creatures that will eat you and disease and also oil. Life flourishes their.
It is NOT snowing here!
“It’s snowing here!”
That reminds me of the questions you see on Amazon:
BUYER QUESTION: “Why did my left handed carbodeframulator and flibbertigibbet stop working?”
HELPFUL ANSWER: “I have no idea.”
Sorry about all that global warming up there.
Weenie 50 IQ wimp, Justine Calma, declares the weather is hotter in summer and we’re all gonna die.
“Keep people scared and you can get them to do anything.”
Try to scare a patriot and expect return fire.
We had ice in the flowerpots this morning on Philly. I wish global warming were true.
Some deserts come to mind
Yeah, we had a cold front today, it went down to 80* brrrrr
