I hope this is the future. Here in central KY we’ve had an unusually mild summer. It’s been absolutely awesome!
Other than CA I want to know where this alleged heatwave occurred. It was cooler than normal here in the CO Rockies, cooler than normal where you are and cooler than normal on the Atlantic seaboard.
I didn't keep track of the rest of the country but I haven't heard of any unusually high temps.
Same here and wetter.
