Funny how all the record temps around here were set in the 1930s... 1936 especially... Must have been all the horse drawn buggies generating all that CO2...
It was the horse farts!
Definitely the horse farts. Lots of those happening at the Victoria Secrets photoshoots these days too.
This feels like a typical summer to me, same as when I was a kid, heck it may even be a bit cooler!
This is the coolest July I've seen in years, it's unheard of to get down into the 60s nearly every night.
NW Washington 2023, coolest July in the last 5 years.
December 2022 in Ohio coldest December in nearly ten years.
February 2023 was then the warmest December in 20 years.
It's literally the El Nino spiking. That is not something humans can affect with known technology.
Part of the problem is they trick us into spending time reacting with lots of circuitous discussion, time-stealing fact-based rebuttal and energy-expending typing, when there was a time we would have felt emboldened enough to have just said "It's bollocks and we're not listening, so fuck off".
I usually just say "whew, it's hot in the summer time" or "jeez it's cold this winter" the rest is just temperature fear porn.
Why not keep saying that? Resist! /s
I think they must have removed all the thermometers from the UK Midlands. It is really cold here. I am still sitting under a blanket, wearing my winter pullover and having to put the heater on in the evenings.
I think they just moved some of my heat to where the thermometers are!
It has been between 16°C and 18°C today and should go to 8°C overnight. We have had warmer heatwaves in summer! Heck, we have even had some where I did not need 3 duvets on the bed.
Wish I could trade you some of our surplus heat. It is a hot July, as usual in Phoenix, but the whole pattern seems to have shifted forward. We had an unusually cool May and June. We should be starting to get thunderstorms now but they seem in the future.
Phoenix!
We tend to be a little cooler than Phoenix most days.
It's a different life... but there are worse places.
For the last 420,000 years or so we have had a succession of around 80,000 years of glaciers interspersed with sometimes as much as 20,000 of warm, like it is now without the glaciers over Canada and Scotland.
So we can pretty much guarantee that 80,000 years in the past would have been colder than now.
According to the WattsUpWithThat](https://wattsupwiththat.com/) website, various ploys have been used. One is to use "recorded" temperatures that somehow manage to incorporate computer modeled data as well. Then there was the ploy of quoting surface temperatures.That is, right near the surface of the earth and not at the usual height of around six feet.
Combine that with the fact that they discarded many thermometers some years ago so we are not comparing like with like and various historical temperatures often seem to fall for some inexplicable reason and you start to see how it is all possible.
Hottest July, where? Death valley?
They did record a temperature of at least 133 from satellite observations about 10 miles south of Furnace creek.
Curious what an actual thermometer would read? Satellite and computer models aren’t as accurate as a glass mercury thermometer.
Climate and Science are two words that should not go together in the current world we live in.
Meanwhile I can't remember a July where it was in the low 60s at night around here like it has been for a couple weeks.
Recorded temps have only been around a few hundred years.
Pffftttt….
This is getting hilarious. These people are out of their minds..... We don"t believe you any more!!!!!
Try 1976 in the UK and Europe, it was in the high 20's to low 30's for months.
This is Crai reservoir in South Wales in the 'heatwave' of 1976.

I've not long driven past it on the way home, in this 'hottest July in 125,000 years', and the fucker is pretty much FULL.
Here in the south, it's of course always pretty hot in the summer, this year they've been giving us "heat advisories" saying the temps are going to be up to 110 degrees, for the last 2 weeks or so. And yes, it's been pretty darn hot, but it is the middle of the summer. But the weather app for the next week also says it's going to be in the high 80's (on cloudy/rainy days) to upper 90's on sunny days, and of course it's usually pretty humid also, because you know it's the south.
Today temp for my area is ... low 75 degrees & the high 93 degrees, with humidity being actually pretty darn good today (right now) at 53%, "feel like temp" is 103 degrees.
I've also noticed that the "air quality" numbers have been getting higher than usual. Right now, it says it's at 60, which they consider as moderate, usually it's half that. This is what the app says for health info & primary pollutant on air quality/particle pollution:
"Health Information"
"Air quality is acceptable; however, pollution in this range may pose a moderate health concern for a very small number of individuals. People who are unusually sensitive to ozone or particle pollution may experience respiratory symptoms."
"Primary Pollutant"
"PM particles are small enough to enter the bloodstream and typically result from wildfires, smokestacks, bacteria, or small dust particles."
