Right now it’s hot as hell in west central Florida. Temps hit the low 90’s usually with with locally heavy thunderstorms popping up. This summer they focus more on the heat index as if the current weather is another sign of an impending climatic apocalypse. In reality it’s just another typical summer here.

I remember in 1977 during the height of the global COOLING hype. After one of the worst winters on the east coast we had a scorching hot summer in NY. Temps topped 100 in parts of the Catskills, which is unheard of.

Our HVAC fan was making weird noises so we haven’t turned it on in about 7 weeks now. Not much humidity here and 30 degrees temp swings day to early morning. Close it up around noon and it usually doesn’t get above about 77 deg. Even when its 100 outside. But, for sure gotta get it fixed before winter. 😳

Yep.

I can remember many summers where the temps topped 100 degrees for about 100 days in a row in the heartland USA.

I can remember a few summers where July and/or August temps dropped to the 80s for a month or longer.

Temps vary. Summers are usually hot. Winters are usually cold. But even that varies some years.

A couple of years ago, a heat record was set in Oregon where my liberal daughter lives. She was going on and on about global warming. I asked her if she knew when the previously high record was set. She didn’t. I told her, correctly, that it had been 1918. She did not view this as a particularly relevant bit of information in the global warming discussion.

Define “extreme heat” - having high temps in the peak of summer has been “normal” for quite some time.

What was not normal was the first week of Summer where I am having highs in high 60s and lower 70s. Now that was quite unusual.

Big news: It’s hot in July.

July was a stinker here last summer. This July has been a roller coaster: nice weather for at least a week, smoke from Canadian wildfires (poor forest management), alternating hot weather with rain and cooler weather. Every morning this week has been cool with a rapid warming during the day. I get to open my windows every morning - not bad for July.

More interesting and revealing. What is the prediction for winter? Global warming theory predicts a mild winter. When this happens, it isn’t claimed by Warmists because a mild winter is pleasant. Or are we going to have EXTREMELY cold polar vortexes as explained after the fact by the Climate Change metaphysicists? Hot or cold? What is the prediction? Wait till next spring to find out!

What really perplexes me is that AGW and CC are considered to be the same theory despite the fact that they make different predictions for winter. Could they be two different theories? After all, they have different names. Could that be a tell?

Right now, it’s impolitic to ask these questions. Later, the answer will change to “Duh, of course they are two different theories. Duh, everybody knew that. That’s the way science works. Duh.”

Meanwhile here in New England we are in the midst of a cooler than normal rainy summer. They said it is typical of an El Nino summer.

Boston has only recorded three days so far over 90 degrees.

Still cooler now than it was in the ‘30s.

There is nothing new under the sun. And we don’t have the data to prove otherwise.

July is normally hot in the summer in Texas, as hot as the 4th of July.

This is nothing new, but it is a liars talking point.

I lived in Burkburnett for a decade and ironically I was TDY to Sheppard AFB from an AF Base in Tennessee for that June. The temperatures on the base were higher than those recorded in downtown WF because of the large paved runway there. It melted the asphalt.

Yeah, I was in Denton about 100 miles away. One for the ages.
