Years of scientific research have found the climate crisis is causing heatwaves to become longer, more frequent and more intense.
That’s 122.9°F for those who can’t feel in Celsius. It also rained a little in the morning and the humidity was about 45%.
I did a little check and the hottest day this week in Death Valley is supposed to be 113° tomorrow with about 9% humidity.
Just for comparison.
HOWEVER, news sources from India are now reporting that number to be an anomaly compared to still-excessive-but-not-a-record numbers from neighboring sensor stations. It could be from hot winds but possible it’s a malfunction. Investigation ongoing.
Haha that reeks of “those number don’t help someone who can influence this” let’s remeasure.
Possible, although it was apparently more than a few degrees different from the others. And everyone seems to agree it’s too damn hot, the only question is, “New High Score?”
