The ‘record’ has only been around since 1979, the year satellite temperatures started. Temperatures were higher than now during the Roman Climate Optimum, and Medieval Warm Period, just a few centuries ago.
Lot of BS mingled into this.
I live in central Germany. For me, mildest summer in decades...roughly nine days that it exceeded 89 F, and nothing above 92 F.
I will admit...almost three months of consecutive drought days (absolutely no rain), then we hit some daily rain pattern for the last six weeks of summer.
