Summer has barely begun, but temperature records are already being broken. Data released today show that the European-average temperature for June 2019 was higher than for any other June on record. Average temperatures were more than 2°C above normal and it has become the hottest June ever recorded.
Although not as persistent as that of summer 2018, this short heat wave, caused by a mass of hot air coming from the Sahara Desert, was intense. The five days of unusually high temperatures followed days with record-breaking temperatures further east in Europe. This led to the month as a whole being around 1°C above the previous record for June, set in 1999, and about 1°C higher than expected from the trend in recent decades.

Although it is difficult to directly attribute this heat wave to climate change, such extreme weather events are expected to become more common as the planet continues to warm under increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.
Looking at the temperature data from a longer-term perspective reveals the month to be even more unusual. Merging the latest C3S data with datasets that extend further back in time shows that the June 2019 European-average temperature was more than 3°C higher than the average for 1850-1900.

West coast Canada here. My lawn turns yellow/brown every year, but never usually until late July or August. But this year it's already been dead for weeks.

 

[J-Roderton]

My balls agree.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Crank that AC.

 

[cryptoadam]

So far last year was hotter up here, but temps are starting to creep up.

 

[pennythoughts]

I'm working a summer landscaping job and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna die before the month is up.

 

[Sub_Level]

I'm moving to the pacific northwest.

The southwest desert is quickly becoming uninhabitable to me.

Crank that AC.

Its on at my house from 10 in the morning to 10 at night.

I’m in the DC area, it was a stretch today before the storm hit. I was getting a bumper ready for paint and was rinsing it in the sun.. there was steam coming off the bumper. It was like that magnified sun lol.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Can't even tell the difference anymore. Hell is always hot so a few more degrees aren't noticeable around here.

Can't imagine living without central ac here. I'd die.

RIP Phatom Dick.

not saying climate change isnt a real thing... but modern temperature records have only been kept for the last 150 years or so.

I was just reading about how in the south there are now super wasp nests. Apparently a wasp nest will peak at 4 to 5 thousand wasps, but seeing that the winters are getting warmer they are now able to survive them. Apparently in Alabama they have found nests the size of cars....

It's probably time we listen to scientists. Chernobyl was a good example of what happens when you let politicians dictate our scientific understandings.

fucking freezing here. gimme that global warming

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

High of 86 today and it started raining about an hour before work ended but it's still partly cloudy with high humidity. In the Midwest, it doesn't really feel like summer but more like a combination of the two warmer seasons due to the heat and rain. As soon as I get home from work, I'll turn the AC on and I usually leave it running overnight. It also helps me sleep better.

 

[bucyou]

the realfeel was 106, but a refreshing 72 in my office

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

Coming right up:

 

[Insane Metal]

Yup can confirm. Here in southeastern Brazil it's been so freaking hot... it's supposed to freeze in the next few days tho.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

That's what happens when you don't let illegal immigrants into your country #whatcomesaroundthewallgoesaroundthewall

 

[Joe T.]

Nine straight months of below average temperatures in the province of Quebec.

 

[juliotendo]

I hope Cunth is doing ok sometimes I hear a sweaty cunth can lead to infections.

Have you tried watering it?

 

[ipukespiders]

Have you tried watering it?

Someday I’ll maintain a nice lawn. But not today. Tomorrow is also not looking too good.

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

Another really hot day. I couldn't wait to get home and turn on the AC.

Is it still freezing cold on your home planet, Cunth ?

 

[AnotherOne]

Get a phat ass to sit on you, problemo solved.

Yes. I'm sick of it

 

[triplestation]

the taste of water is the sweetest and the craving for life is the strongest during these times

[Trogdor1123]

Not hotter here... Just way more rain!

 

[Kenpachii]

Pretty chill in netherlands for already a while.

 

[Texas Pride]

Just gotta pack it up and go to the beach when it's hot.

 

[The Giant]

Aussie here, It's so bloody cold.

 

[Birdo]

It's been quite mild here in the UK.

Nowhere near as bad as last year. Which nearly killed us.

 

[General Lee]

Wouldn't mind some local warming here in Finland. July has been the coldest in recent memory. It's supposed to be the hottest time of the year here, but we barely reached 15 C in the past week. At least now it's getting back to 20+ but looks like June was actually warmer this year.

 

[timeflais]

Planetary cycles.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

There is a heatwave about to hit here in the north east and after that blackout the other night in Manhattan i'm taking the bus anywhere I have to go . I picked a fine time to tell my mom's landscaper I'll start doing the lawn..ugh..

 

[Jaxx_377]

Seems like a pretty typical Summer here in Boston. A few hot days but nothing unusually warm so far

 

[Super Mario]

Too many people using plastic straws I see

Same here. Hate the cold.

Oh god, I forgot about the super bees. Already made their way over from the Texas area, eh?

Even more nefarious is that they edge out honey bees too without providing anything back (well, aside from pain and fear).
