July 21, 2024 was the hottest day ever (updated date)

The sun’s activity is peaking sooner than expected | CNN

We are getting triple whammy - ongoing global warming, plus El Niño and also a period of higher solar activity. Next year could be brutal also.

 

Yeah I lived in Denton for a few years and the summers were basically 102 every day. Different than the FL heat, but sucks the air out of your lungs. We're thinking of heading over to the Detroit Lakes area in a couple weeks. Never been to Itasca St Park, so play to check that out. Have a great time in OR/CA.

 

We live very close to Denton. What was then commonly 102 is now 104.

 

Only 84 today here in Charlotte. Projections for Miami being under water moved back one week.

 

That’s it! I’ve demanded a conference call with Modi and Xi. This stops now!

 

Water is 91 degrees. That’s just plain uncomfortable.

 

That's lukewarm bath water. I find around 95 degrees to be the sweet spot for maximal relaxation.

 

It doesn’t matter. It’s too late. We’ve run out of time …

 

We are on a long road trip west. Originally I planned to go from San Fran to Vegas but with 110-120 temperatures along the way I just don’t want to be out on the highway if something were to go wrong. Instead will head east through Reno to Colorado then back to TX.

 

Got my 2 adult kids - taking them to places they haven’t been. We started in MN with annual family vacation on a lake - weather was wonderful never got to 80. Went to Yellowstone but pretty much drove through because of crowds and road construction. Now on Oregon Coast which is gorgeous and then will had to San Fran Bay Area. Going East will be more interesting and I can do without Vegas but this route will add about 6 hrs driving to the trip.

 

sitting here right now in our Airbnb looking out at Oregon coast. You can almost always see whales out there if you wait a few minutes. temp stays around 55-65.

Our timing was good as my wife got home from MN - she didn’t come with us, and our AC at home was broken. Going to have it replaced. The good news is she works for a refrigeration company.

 

Enjoy it while it lasts. Just a matter of time before the only whale watching you’ll be doing is in a van down by the North Pole.

 

I’m not a rocket surgeon or geograpist so bear with me. How do you go down by the North Pole?

 

Given the poster such questions are pointless.

 

Why are we not talking about Global Colding ?
