As hot as it's been, is it really that much hotter than usual? When we drove through AZ last June it was as hot as 108 degrees. In the Dallas area we're getting our usual 100 degree weather, but nothing out of the usual like 1980. I know Florida is about 10 degrees higher than 2020, but can than be just a normal fluctuation?
It makes me think about winter in Dallas. If the least bit of snow is going to fall, the media goes berserk and the schools shut down. Total overreaction. Is that what is happening here?

Funny you should mention 108°. My thermometer from 8/11/2020.

Yep! That's very unusual, but not unheard of. It showed 110 at one time. It looks like that picture is showing a High of 109°. The lowest I've seen in the winter is -6°.

We’ve had quite moderate temps compared to most of the southern tier states so far. I’m just hoping that misplaced Bermuda high doesn’t move east.

Was stationed at Nellie, 69 - 71, Vegas got up to 110 to 115 and Phoenix was usu. 4 to 5 degrees higher. I worked flightline on the base where it was usually 15 degrees hotter. High temps come and go. Oh the changes. Supposed to hit 105 today in Mtn. Home ID. Not even August.

Where I live in Palm Springs, CA we are accustomed to well over 100 degrees temperature May through October every year. It is a dry heat with little if any humidity. One learns how to live with it. I take full advantage of using the mornings well . . . as that is the nicest time of day when it gets that hot . . . and of course we "never" go out for that walk around the block in mid afternoon. And air conditioned cars help a lot too.
And that is one of the reasons why my lady and I spend our summers in Huntington Beach. We love the desert from November through May, but would much rather be enjoying the cool summer winds off the ocean.
Yesterdays weather (which will look much the same today)

Ah memories! ... I moved from NY to Dallas in June 1980 when records were set...but nothing was unusual to me since I was expecting HOT anyway! Thing is...my car, bought in NY, had no Air Conditioning, so when I got to Dallas I shed a lot of clothes to the bare minimum...when I got to the office, I put on my dress shirt, tie and suit coat...reverse going home. I lived that way for 1 year before getting a new car WITH AC.
As to current situation in 2023, wife and I recently enrolled in "Hotworx," a gym of sorts, where we do exercises to a virtual instructor on a TV screen in an infrared sauna at 125° for 1/2 hour. We go 3x per week. Sweating and exercise is good for the body.

People talk about Arizona’s “Dry Heat,” but having lived here for over 70 years, when it gets over 110, it is Hot. Yesterday’s 118 was in the shade, you can guess what it was out in the sun. Glad we have a pool. We go out and get all wet, climb out of the pool, and you actually chill for five minutes, and then you are dry!

But, we own the fall, the winter, and the spring, with no hurricanes, blizzards or tornadoes!
