Nice and warm. Just reached 30° F after being in the teens. Thursday was 61° F, dropped to 25 ° F overnight and then a foot of snow on Friday. Neat weather.It’s 44F outside and we are huddled in our house, like we are in a cabin out in the back woods and it’s -10F.❄️

Brought from another thread:
Since June we (East Texas) have been running mid 90s to low 100sF (32-40C) with lows of 85F (29C) at night. A high pressure dome of heat parked over the Central US bringing no rain for several weeks and high temps. Comparing F to C, I prefer the spread of F over C, but not said to start anything.
A recent trip to Corpus Christi we saw large large fields of immature brown corn. At least it appeared immature to me. An alarming report is that the Oceans are turning green (more plant matter growing) due to the rise of temps, sharks are reported as dying. Another report said that El Niño usually causes a reduction of Atlantic hurricane activity, but with oceans heating up, that may change. I never thought I would be living in such a transitional period for the Earth. We have been warned for 40 years, yet…

In New England, we've had a summer of rain. Horrific flooding in Vermont and Southwestern NH and western MA affected by runoff into the Connecticut River. It has been warm and very humid with highs in the 80s. That's actually normal but the humidity is annoying. The summer issues have been exacerbated by the wildfires in Quebec. A good swath of the US going as far south as Florida and as far north as NYC have been affected by the wildfires in Alberta.
The lawns in my area are the greenest I've ever seen them. Same with fields all over the place. Lakes, ponds and reservoirs are at levels I never seen before as well. Those living in the valleys of mountains have to worry about flooding downtowns. Also those living near rivers and creeks and those with highways next to rivers and creeks.

Phoenix, AZ.
Inside, by 4pm (max heat of the day) it is a balmy 85-86º in the kitchen/front room. Central A/C broke in July 2020 so we survive on portable A/C.

I hate hot weather. I just got back from Reno where it was in the 90s and while it's in the 80s in the Bay Area, I'm going to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks and I think the weather will be almost apocalyptic. Give me chilly and cold any day. Counting down the days to Winter.
This has been a relatively cool and wet summer in the interior of Alaska, and the usual wildfires and smoke we have each summer haven't taken place. This week it has been raining sporadically (rain/sunny), with temperatures in the to to mid 70's F. (21-24 or so degrees C.) during the day, and in the low 50's to low 60's F. (10-15 C) at night.

Pouring rain started 30 minutes ago. We got some thunder which shook the house. I've received multiple flash flood alerts in email.
We are normally a heavy tourism state and those that scheduled vacations here this summer are probably pretty disappointed because of all the rain and wildfire smoke.

Looks like bad air quality from Canadian wildfires is returning
The break from it was nice while it lasted...
A friend of mine in Canada tells me it's basically been non-stop all summer. It's really starting to weigh on him. Air quality like this is detrimental to both physical and mental health.

The smoke from wildfires is a normal occurrence in the interior of Alaska, just like it is happening in Canada this summer. But it has been different for us this time. It has been cool and often raining.Looks like bad air quality from Canadian wildfires is returning

It has not been great in New England between rain, heat, humidity, floods and the wildfire smoke. It does dissipate quite a bit by the time it gets to us and the folks in the midwest are getting hit pretty badly now but this has been kind of a waste of summer. A lot of tourists to our state have been unhappy.
At least the PNW is getting to enjoy good air quality.
We were warned for 4 decades, we were not up to the task…😢

Global heat in ‘uncharted territory’ as scientists warn 2023 could be the hottest year on record
Long-lost Greenland ice core suggests potential for disastrous sea level rise
Canadian wildfires burning land at record pace
Over four times as much land has burned in Canada in 2023 than in a typical wildfire season.

South Florida water temperature hits triple digits, may have set world record for warmest seawater
The water temperature on the tip of Florida hit hot tub levels, exceeding 100 degrees two days in a row, which meteorologists say could potentially be the hottest seawater ever measured.

People thought Vermont would be a good location to avoid climate change. Turns out that doesn't work. The flooding in Vermont this summer shows that no place is going to avoid the problems from climate change warming.
There was flooding in valleys, and places with poor drainage; not the whole state. I did not hear about any flooding in the largest city, Burlington.
I'm in New Hampshire and there was flooding in the Southwestern part of the state and some areas along the Connecticut River. There was no flooding in my town. There was flooding in Manchester but they get flooding with an inch of rain. If you want to avoid flooding, live on a hill or in a place with proper water drainage engineering.
We were never going to be up to the task - it's the tragedy of the commons. The only way out is probably going to be using technology objectively (Nuclear etc? Fusion - here's hoping!) and the coming world wide general population reductions.We were warned for 4 decades, we were not up to the task…😢

The planet won't die, it will, if we're not a lot more careful just shrug us off and recover.
If you going to live somewhere in the Nothern Hemisphere, the farther North the better from a heat aspect, but that does not mean you’ll avoid calamity, ref forests burning in Canada, houses threatened by rivers in Alaska. I agree with the comment about not living next to a river which has always been kind of true.

There are so many New England towns that are centered next to or on a river because the river provided transport and power in the past. You're usually in a valley with streets descending in altitude as you approach the river.
Our primary residence is actually a half mile from a major river but the elevation delta is 200 feet. Some cities have put up barriers along the river, that are quite high to diminish flood risk and this works well in two local cities but there are areas of poor drainage that flood and the locals just have to live with it until the water goes down. Sometimes there isn't the political will or power to fix neighborhood problems.
Given the history, I think that this may be recurring for towns and cities that are set up like this as it's hard to redo your town center and the states don't exactly have a ton of money to fix things or to move things.
