Lets look at TX. In 1980, it was 115. Yeah, I remember that because I’d come in from work and sit in front of the fridge in a wet towel. Grandpa found out and put a window unit in.
In 2011, nearby towns were out of drinking water due to the drought and rivers ran dry. Ok, a lot of the dry riverbeds was due to having to send the water down to the rice fields. That was the summer the weather folk were all ecstatic saying “100 days of 100+ temps!!!” There were several days of 110+ temps.
Funny, the weather folk have misplaced those record breaking records. I can’t go anywhere without hearing people either laugh at or are disgusted at the horse hockey “boiling” records this summer. It is all lies.
There has been a LOT of hyperventilating about the consistent mid nineties highs here but 25 years ago we had a succession of years with the same pattern but 8-9 degrees hotter. The regime believes that no one has a memory span greater than a year.
