Looks like we're in for a blistering season, not just in the West where temps have been hitting record highs for months, but across the whole nation. The long-term map on last night's news indicated temps in the 90s for all of the contiguous US, as far north as Montana and Maine. Here in the Philly area, we've been spared so far (save for a few days last week), but predictions are for late June and July to be scorching...and humid.
Of course, the nay-sayers will tell you this has nothing to do with climate change (which is a myth, anyway, according to them), although the Far West hasn't experienced anything like this in 125 years...and not for such a prolonged period, ever. I swear we could having weather like the scenes in The Day the Earth Caught Fire, and some on the right would swear it was all just seasonal temperature changes.
And, if things go on as they are, we could well be in that situation.
