The weather here has cooled down to normal now. That means that mornings are fairly chilly, and afternoons are warm. I spent some time yesterday and the day before looking through high and low temperature records we kept between 2005 and about 2018. I was looking for the number of days when we had a high temperature of 30ºC (86ºF) or higher, Here's the result. Remember, the summer of 2022 is far from over. Predictions are for another 5 or 6 days of 30º days starting next week.
Year..........30ºC+ days
2022..............22
2021..............15
2018..............11
2017..............13
2015................4
2014................2
2021..............15
2018..............11
2017..............13
2015................4
2014................2
2010................6
2007................2
2006..............202005..............15
I wish we had more complete records, but if we do I haven't found them yet.

Your record of the high heat days is certainly in line with global warming trends. Pretty disturbing! Kiwi
ReplyDeleteBut we know global warming is a hoax, right? :(

I hope your plants are doing well, despite the excessive heat?
ReplyDeleteHow did you fare, Judith, with all the 9" rain in St. Louis? You are the only person I know who might have been affected.
