I suffer through Houston summers for the other 8-9 months a year.

I spent a couple of days in Arizona on 100+ days. It’s not as bad as Houston. Humidity makes a huge difference in my opine.

In my opinion the heat index numbers are low. I would take a dry 110 over a humid 90 degree day anytime.

World temperature records have been broken for a second day in a row, data suggests, as experts issued a warning that this year’s warmest days are still to come – and with them the warmest days ever recorded.

The average global air temperature was 17.18C (62.9F) on Tuesday, according to data collated by the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), surpassing the record 17.01C reached on Monday

thank you very much!!! A fourteen degree turn around from yesterdays 74 degrees. Finally starting to feel like summer. Beach, babe watching, BBQ, sun tan, fishing, kayaking, gas furnace not in use. Gotta love it. Hoping the heat lasts into November this year. Anticipating the soon to arrive motorcycle. Love the longer riding seasons. Farmers are loving the longer growing season.


Greta who?

That's what happens when the earth starts warming in 1900 after cooling off for 5,000 years.

It gets hotter...shocking, I know

Who verified the temperatures?
A scientific third party or those who are pushing the scare tactics?

I posted here years ago that the protocols for gathering world wide temperatures were grossly violated. Uncalibrated instruments, time of day variance, location of thec data collection pointsseriously biased...

The data is bogus.
It is DISINFORMATIOM!

Add that to open natural ground being paved over by the day, that does two things they scream climate change over. It increases temperatures and the impact of rainfall on flooding. You never hear that factor mentioned along with the population increasing effecting the number of wild fires.

In England they had a temperature gauge near a runway at a Royal Air Force runway. Gee, I wonder why it showed the highest temperature of any readings for that day.

You are absolutely correct sir. I live in Central Florida near Disney and the humidity here can be flat out beastly. Of course, when I think about it, I quickly realize that I do in point of fact live in Florida where ridiculously high humidity is unfortunately for me and others par for the course. So, it is what it is.

Yahoo News:


'Unprecedented and terrifying': World sets all-time high temperature record 2 days in a row
The Earth’s average temperature reached an all-time high on Monday, and then again on Tuesday, in what is shaping up to be a year of record-breaking heat.

Monday’s global average temperature of 62.62 degrees Fahrenheit was exceeded Tuesday when it reached 62.92°F, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Change Institute




What moron would be terrified of 63 degree weather.



I believe they are using NASA temperature data which hasn't been around all that long.


Been the coolest weather here in a long time. It is what is known as weather. Has a habit of constantly changing.

There's been many articles written about how these "official temperature monitors" are misplaced. Possibly purposefully? To record higher temperatures.

They have a vested interest in reporting AS HOT AS POSSIBLE...even going so far as to RIG it...sound familiar?

2020 anyone?

Rigging is in their blood. And if you don't believe it, you are a fool.

Ask a roofer and he'll tell you it's much hotter on a roof than it will be at street level. PA is correct, many people have a vested interest in climate. Al Gore sits on the board of at least a dozen green tech firms. Greta Thunberg is a millionaire. Schwarzeneggar invested millions in battery storage.
