I remember many hotter years since 1956. This is the first year I have not had to put on the AC till later June! Usually it is on in later April.
And I remember when we had no AC!
In TX, this was the first summer there wasn’t a blast of heat hitting your face when the four leggers were let out of a morning. It was so cool, I was able to sit out to have coffee on the porch and do some outside chores until nearly noon. But, nooooo, it was somehow “record” breaking temps!!!!!
