King of the US Heat waves

quote: Public health officials in Arizona’s most populous county on Wednesday reported they confirmed a staggering 645 heat-associated deaths last year – more than 50% higher than 2022 and another consecutive annual record in arid metro Phoenix.

The report said two-thirds of the county’s heat-related deaths in 2023 were people 50 years or older, and 71% were on days the National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning.

Last summer, Phoenix experienced the hottest three months since record-keeping began in 1895, including the hottest July and the second-hottest August. The daily average temperature of 97F (36.1C) in June, July and August passed the previous record of 96.7F (35.9C) set three years ago.

Phoenix also set a record in July with a 31-day streak of highs at or above 110F (43.3C).

dang, Bidenomics has raised electricity costs so much, many can not afford their air conditioners. There will be many dying up north as well from freezing this year, same reason.


It will become even worse if the progressive climate activists outlaw air conditioners and heaters. Those that can not afford to migrate with the seasons will be hurt most.

Just curious, is more of Phoenix paved over in 2023 than in 1895? Ever notice how a temperature drops when you leave the asphalt jungle? More pavement also leads to more flooding. It isn't "climate change."

Come On Man... Asphalt and Concrete have no impact on climate. The Scientists have decided so... it's the other things... like cows farting and manufacturing in the US. Not China or India mind you.

Plus they look at deaths as a good thing... the more the merrier. Less people save the planet.

Town here is not that big, that is Ladysmith Va, There is pretty much nothing in downtown Beaverdam any more. The area around the shopping center and the shopping center parking lot on a clear warm day is 3-4 degrees hotter than a mile down the two lane road that cuts through the woods. That according to what my rear view mirror says. No change in elevation or water around.

What 46 doesn't tell us is cold weather kills far more people than hot weather does. it means if the earth gets warmer far less people will die. scientists published a document in 2015 that examined 74 million deaths from all causes from 384 locations in 13 countries. The countries included tropical as well as countries such as canada. scientists found 0.5 deaths were related to heat and 7 percent were caused by cold.


For every heat death, 17 died from the cold.

And they take their temperature readings right by that black asphalt, just so the sample locations stay the same

That's what happens when you put the temp sensor at the airport near asphalt and other sources of heat like jet engines.
