Last week, mid to high 90s, this week low to mid 90s, about right for summer in this part of Florida.

Ah, the second mandatory media climate fear porn. I’ll continue to search and see if they can make it a triple for today. Always remember, journalists are the losers that got Fs in science class.

With this headline, the AP treats Biden as if he is God.

In a way, he is their god. To the Left, the politics of power and control is their religion. Though Biden is merely a senile puppet, political power is projected through him, and it is through him that the Left's agenda is being advanced... and thus they worship him as a deity.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been helping cities and towns map “heat islands” with dense buildings and fewer trees, and the Department of Agriculture issued guidance for creating more tree canopy coverage, which helps with cooling environments.

They do realize they just admitted cities can throw off temps....it's not climate change.

1540 European drought - Extreme drought and heatwave lasting 11 months in Europe.

July 1743 heatwave in China - Beijing reached 44.4 °C (111.9 °F) on July 25, higher than any modern records. 11,400 people reportedly died.[1]

July 1757 heatwave – Europe, hottest summer in Europe since 1540 and until 2003.[2][3][4]

1808 United Kingdom heat wave

1881 North American heat wave[5]

1896 Eastern North America heat wave – killed 1,500 people in August 1896.

1900 – historical heatwave of the center of Argentina between the first eight days of February 1900 known as "the week of fire" affected the cities of Buenos Aires and Rosario with temperatures of up to 37 °C (99 °F) but with a very high index of humidity that elevated the sensation of heat to 49 °C (120 °F) severely affecting the health of people and causing at least 478 fatalities. 20th century

1901 – 1901 eastern United States heat wave killed 9,500 in the Eastern United States.

1906 – during the 1906 United Kingdom heat wave which began in August and lasted into September broke numerous records. On September 2 temperatures reached 35.6 °C (96.1 °F), which still holds the September record, however some places beat their local record during September 1911 and September 2016.

1911 – 1911 Eastern North America heat wave killed between 380 and 2,000 people.

1911 – 1911 United Kingdom heat wave was one of the most severe periods of heat to hit the country with temperatures around 36 °C (97 °F). The heat began in early July and didn't let up until mid-September where even in September temperatures were still up to 33 °C (91 °F). It took 79 years for temperature higher to be recorded in the United Kingdom during 1990 United Kingdom heat wave.

1911 – 41,072 deaths were reported during a heat wave in France.

1913 – in July, the hottest heat wave ever struck California. During this heat wave, Death Valley recorded a record high temperature of 57 °C (134 °F) at Furnace Creek, which still remains the highest ambient air temperature recorded on Earth.[6][7]

1921 – Hottest July on record across Eastern Canada and parts of the Northeastern US, part of a very warm year in those places. Parts of the United Kingdom also saw recording breaking heat, also part of a very warm year. The Central England Temperature for July was 18.5 °C (65.3 °F), which was the 8th warmest since records began in 1659, and the warmest since 1852. The year of 1921 was the warmest on record at the time but has since been eclipsed by 15 other years.[8]

1923–1924 – during a period of 160 such days from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924, the Western Australian town of Marble Bar reached 38 °C (100 °F).[9]

1930s – Almost every year from 1930 to 1938 featured historic heat waves and droughts somewhere in North America, part of the Dust Bowl years.

1936 – 1936 North American heat wave during the Dust Bowl, followed one of the coldest winters on record—the 1936 North American cold wave. Massive heat waves across North America were persistent in the 1930s, many mid-Atlantic/Ohio valley states recorded their highest temperatures during July 1934. The longest continuous string of 38 °C (100 °F) or higher temperatures was reached for 101 days in Yuma, Arizona during 1937 and the highest temperatures ever reached in Canada were recorded in two locations in Saskatchewan in July 1937.

1947 – record breaking temperature of 37.6 °C (99.7 °F) in Paris recorded on June 26, 1947.[10]

1950s – Prolonged severe drought and heat wave occurred in the early 1950s throughout the central and southern United States. Every year from 1952 to 1955 featured major heat waves across North America. In some areas it was drier than during the Dust Bowl and the heat wave in most areas was within the top five on record. The heat was particularly severe in 1954 with 22 days of temperatures exceeding 38 °C (100 °F) covering significant parts of eleven states. On 14 July, the thermometer reached 47 °C (117 °F) at East St. Louis, Illinois, which remains the record highest temperature for that state.[11][12][13]

October 1952 – Romania was hit by very hot weather. Temperatures reached 39.0 °C (102.2 °F) on 2 October, with Bucharest reaching 35.2 °C (95.4 °F). Temperatures on the night of 2–3 October were also just under 26 °C (79 °F).

1955 – 1955 United Kingdom heat wave was a period of hot weather that was accompanied by drought. In some places it was the worst drought on record, more severe than 1976 and 1995.

1960 – on 2 January, Oodnadatta, South Australia hit 50.7 °C (123.3 °F) degrees, the highest temperature ever recorded in the Southern Hemisphere and Oceania.

1972 – heat waves of 1972 in New York and Northeastern United States were significant. Almost 900 people died; the heat conditions lasted almost 16 days, aggravated by very high humidity levels.

1976 – 1976 United Kingdom heat wave was one of the hottest in living memory and was marked by constant blue skies from May until September when dramatic thunderstorms signalled the heat wave's end.

1980 – estimated 1,000 people died in the 1980 United States heat wave and drought, which impacted the central and eastern United States. Temperatures were highest in the southern plains. From June through September, temperatures remained above 32 °C (90 °F) all but two days in Kansas City, Missouri. The Dallas/Fort Worth area experienced 42 consecutive days with high temperatures above 38 °C (100 °F), with temperatures reaching 47 °C (117 °F) at Wichita Falls, Texas on 28 June. Economic losses were $20 billion (1980 dollars).[14]

1981 – August 1981 heat wave in the Pacific Northwest.

1983 – during the Summer of 1983 temperatures over 38 °C (100 °F) were common across Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and certain parts of Kentucky; the summer of 1983 remains one of the hottest summers ever recorded in many of the states affected. The hundred-degree readings were accompanied by very dry conditions associated with drought affecting the Corn Belt States and Upper Midwest. The heat also affected the Southeastern U.S. and the Mid-Atlantic states as well that same summer. New York Times represented articles about the heat waves of 1983 affecting the central United States.[15] This heat wave was associated with the I-94 derecho.

1983 – United Kingdom experienced a heatwave during July 1983. This was the hottest month ever recorded until it was beaten in 2006.

Temperature difference in Europe from the average during the European heat wave of 2003

1987 – prolonged heat wave from 20 to 31 July in Greece, with more than 1,000 deaths in the area of Athens. The maximum temperature measured was 41.9 °C (107.4 °F) at 23 July at the center of Athens and in the suburb of Nea Philadelphia, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northeast was 43.6 °C (110.5 °F) on 27 July, and were combined with high minima, with the highest being 30.2 °C (86.4 °F) in the center of Athens at 27 July and 29.9 °C (85.8 °F) at 24 July at Nea Philadelfia. The lowest minimum was 25.6 °C (78.1 °F) at the center of Athens. Moreover, humidity was high and wind speeds low, contributing to human discomfort, even during the night.[16]

1988 – intense heat spells in combination with the drought of 1988, reminiscent of the dust bowl years caused deadly results across the United States. Official estimates report that 5,000 to 10,000 people died because of constant heat across the United States. Some estimates put total deaths at close to 17,000.[14]

1990 – cities across the United Kingdom broke their all-time temperature records in the dramatic 1990 United Kingdom heat wave temperatures peaked at 37 °C (99 °F). This led to one of the hottest Augusts on record, records going back to 1659.

1994 - Intense heat wave in Poland between July and August, with maximum temperature 39,5 degrees of Celsius. This heat caused 1076 additional deaths in 10 largest polish cities. [17]

1995 – 1995 Chicago heat wave produced record high dew point levels and heat indices in the Chicago area and Wisconsin; temperatures reached as high as 41 °C (106 °F). The lack of emergency cooling facilities and inadequate response from civic authorities to the senior population, particularly in lower income neighborhoods in Chicago and other Midwestern cities, lead to at least 778 deaths—mostly which were African American Chicagoans. A series of damaging derechos occurred on the periphery of the hot air dome.

1995 – United Kingdom experienced its 3rd hottest summer since 1659. August was the hottest on record since 1659. The summer was also the driest on record since 1766. Temperatures peaked at 35 °C (95 °F) on 1 August, which did not break the all-time record.

1997 – United Kingdom experienced its 3rd major heatwave in 7 years with August 1997 being one of the hottest on record.

They can’t always accurately predict tomorrow’s weather, but we can change it? We have ZERO control over mother nature. Only narcissists believe that.

Sounds like DHHS is maybe trying to get more A/C into low income areas, while the Biden administration is trying to take away our A/C probably because of excess electrical requirements. The so-called “climate crisis” is a natural result of the weather which we really have no control over. This administration’s ideas of how to control this “crisis” only illustrates their lack of wisdom. More conventional power plants, not the stupid “green energy” projects would go a long ways to solving some of the problems in summer & winter both. Yes, there seems to be a lot of heat in the nation right now, as a result of natural weather conditions which can be coped with, but not controlled. We don’t have control of the weather. but in exchange for a large sum of money, there are those who will try. Anybody else notice that a large part of our problems seemed to increase with the onset of the Obama & Biden administrations?

He can stand down on that. It’s cooled right down, here — we haven’t hit a hundred for three days. Also, the sun’s headed south, now; my lights that come on 20 minutes before sunset are now (finally!) coming on earlier every night.

We’re gonna be fine. Settle down, Joe. Everybody knows you’re just politicking.
