#17  El Niño

Warmer ocean temps and a different weather pattern = hot weather in Texas.

#12  Canada has napalmed itself so Ohio is pretty cool. I am hoping they burn some menthol next week to change the flavor in my mouth. Food is starting to taste funny.

#9  In 1979 in Phoenix City, Alabama we had a week of 100+ temperatures. Lowest was 104 and highest was 107. I was working construction on a 3 tiered parking lot. Even my boots were soaked through. Also no AC in the house.

#8  Thanks to the problems a few short years ago the Texas power grid has been updated and is holding on without brownouts, so far.

107 is the same as 70 if you stay inside.

San Angelo, for example, was at or above 105F for 14 out of 15 days ending yesterday. Some places in TX had 14 or 15 days in a row over 105F, some had 4 or 5 in a row at or over 110F.
