The last time it got above 95 where I live, I was a child, nobody went outside that week, and everyone was complaining that it was the hottest days they've ever felt there.
It's already happened 3 times this year. Once in "winter". All of this week has been above 95.
This is the hottest year of your life....
Every year.
Until you die.
Potentially of heat-related conditions.
And i still have old people saying to my face that it was "hotter when they grew up, things are just going back to normal"
Tetraethyl lead will do that to brain cells.
I wonder if PFAS are having an effect as well.
It wasn't hotter, they just didn't have nearly as much air conditioning.
My mom just constantly says "the weather has been weird lately." You would think she would see a pattern after so many years.
Last time the rest of the country had a heatwave, I said "thankfully I live in Seattle." Only a couple weeks later the temperature was over 100°F here for five days straight. So I'm going to shut my mouth this time.
Worst biodome sequel ever
Add 90% humidity and you'd be experiencing Florida's climate. I can't understand why people keep coming here when the heat is only getting worse.
Likely climate change deniers embracing the new level of backwardness.
Man, these power grids better hold.
The high was 95 yesterday. It rained last night and will rain in an hour or so, so thankfully that will cool things off.
The high will be 87.
"Heat Dome"
Aaahhhh the media.
Heat Dome - 8 Billion people enter, no man leave.
