If so let me start a new thread. Yesterday it was 93 with a heat index of 107 and 59% humidity. Let's see what today brings.

Thats weak. We had like 2 weeks ago in Eastern fucking Europe over 40 degrees Celsius, not for a day, but almost 3 weeks of hell.

Meanwhile, the UK has had the worst fucking weather I can ever remember in a summer, with only this week really feeling like it’s appropriate for the time of year.

It's 97 in denver with 3 wildfires close to the city. Plus California and Canada fires are contributing. It's bad outside

People love summer, I never have. The heat sucks. If you live in a place that doesn't have AC, it's even worse. My favorite time of the year is fall. Just the best weather. I enjoy the first couple weeks of warm/hot weather, but after that I hate it and immediately long for October and the cool crisp weather, for those who live in regions that experience the seasons like this.

Monday breaks the record for the hottest day ever on Earth
Climate scientists say the record for the hottest day globally has been broken for the second consecutive day and that the worldwide temperature could rise yet more this week.

Goddamn dude I empathize with this completely. Absolutely despise summer, not just the weather, but everything about the culture, everything about how loud and idiotic everyone gets in summer, it's just such a terrible time to be around humans.

Body odor is worse in the summer, bugs are worse in the summer. The noise is worse in the summer. The smell of the air is worse. Depending on where you live, the smell in the air starts to change in mid to late September when it gets into the 70s. The green starts to change and you get that sweet dewy smell in the air. Then the crisp air of the fall once fall comes.

Yeah, crops are failing because it's been so wet, apparently.

I love the summer as long as I'm at the beach with a drink in my hand.

Hotter than when earth was a ball of magma? Co2 levels are extremely low historically, almost scary low at ~400ppm, so I'm assuming when they were 3 - 4x and plants were gigantic that it was significantly warmer.
Co2 = plant food. More Co2 = larger plants and more vegetation, which in turn produces more oxygen. Pretty interesting cycle.

Indeed, instruments that monitor PPM vs. ice core sampling.
Regardless, I'd argue this is a misplaced fear. Stop chopping down forests and that Co2 will be beneficial. More Co2 is good.
I grow a garden in a greenhouse and I intentionally add greenhouse gases to produce larger plants.
More Co2 + more heat = more food.

It’s been significantly milder and much more tolerable around here. Last summer was excruciating.

The implications for humanity being more food and less winter? Yes please!
Remember that Al Gore movie which said Florida would be under water by 2011? The shoreline has not changed at all.

The implications about how you're in a thread that's complaining about how hot it is, and I offered additional data about how it's hot and only getting hotter, and then you are disregarding the topic and wanting to talk about how to grow plants well.

I suspect those folks might had already passed out from heatstroke or something.

Fair enough!
Really I'm arguing that this "fear" about warm summer is misplaced and really just narrative / politics / agenda and not factual.
Greenhouse gases and heat increases are good, not bad. Earth is way too cold. Use of energy from burning Co2 into the air > not doing so!

Problem here is humidity. Soon as it's hot I have to peel myself off of every surface I come in contact with. Got three full changes of clothing on rotation all day.

Averages mid 30's here in Summer though not unheard of to get 40 days and about 25 in Winter.
30-32 is my favourite temp and I work both inside and outside.

Same here .
It's not been as insufferably hot as it was last year, but ...
There's still August to go!
Either way, I'm a soldier so fuck it.

i used to not like it but as long as I’m staying hydrated Feels good sweating
Warmer weather = more mosquitos with dengue and malaria that Kill more ppl than any other animals. Gives the people in hot/humid areas a lot of problems. Winter/colder weather is good to wipe them out every year

He's clearly another of these goofy asses who downplay global warming. Wild that there's still folks like that out there, but it's pretty clear in their case. I've learned to just pay them no mind at all, whatever they say just nod and agree so that they don't drag your IQ down into the muck with them.i used to not like it but as long as I’m staying hydrated Feels good sweating

How is the humidity? I'm in Houston we had 66% humidity earlier. Stepping outside is like taking a steam bath

Look at the history of these claims....
By 2011 Florida underwater?
That was the big fear in 2004.
I've driven over a bridge in the ocean for 30 years, know where the water level is?
Exactly where it was in 2004.
Who is goofy? I'd argue it's the people writing these climate models
The fear in the 80s was a global ice age.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills....people complaining about 100 Fahrenheit which is like 37/38 degrees Celsius when here in Romania last week we've had like 4 consecutive days with 41/42 degrees Celsius and the rest of the week for the past 3 weeks it was 38/39 degrees with high humidity.
Welcome to Europe also known as the scorched lands.
37 degrees is like winter for me now.
