Buckle up, crank up the A/C and prepare for a wild ride. We are about to get a bad taste of our own medicine.

...some of the effects of climate change were shielded by natural climate fluctuations that had cooling effects. A new study reveals that the years 2018 to 2022 will likely see unprecedented warming and environmental degradation from climate change because the cool phases of various climate modes are ending and being replaced by their warm phase counterparts....

What is being added to this widely accepted knowledge is that the interactions between unprecedented amounts of carbon emissions and the climate's variability will have larger consequences than what was originally projected.

Some of the hottest annual temperatures on record happened during this [cooling phase] period, which is why this new study is alarming - the increased carbon emissions coupled with the warming effects from changes in the Earth's internal variability will shatter our recent records and will force the world to adapt and mitigate these unparalleled conditions

Translation: Even though we were in a cold spell, it was still hot as hell. Now, we are entering a warm spell. So, it will be even hotter.

I spent a week in Massachusetts in June. It got up to 100 F. the day I got fed up and left. That kind of heat in a tent is no fun.

I lived in Mass in the late 60's and early 70's. Never needed AC then. Now it seems no matter how early I show up in June it's hotter than blazes.

While there is some fun stuff in it, I wouldn’t make plans based on the Farmer’s Almanac weather predictions. :)
 
108 degrees here yesterday, gonna be like that all week. Fall? What is that?

I was lucky. I went there from Jan through May. :)
 
I think that people perceive that it is hotter because they are older and maybe heavier.
NOAA runs a web site called climate at a glance.
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/natio...ase=10&firsttrendyear=1931&lasttrendyear=2018
And basically the summer months (June, July, and August) For the Lower 48 are near ZERO maximum
temperature increase since 1931.

It is warmer in the evenings, but the daytime highs have not changed much is most of our lifetimes.

How can the local TV stations predict the winter when the NWS can't even predict it with certainty?

Why do you live in a 24 hour averaged day?
I live and perceive temperature on an hourly bases.
I do notice that the evenings are not as cool as they used to be, but it is only a minor issue.
the daytime highs is what would (and does) affect me, and at least on NOAA's official
record the summer highs have not increased since 1931.

Interesting. We got over 100 F. for a couple of weeks in Indiana several years back. I know for a fact that never happened in all of my 60 years.
 
Saying it's going to get hotter is a pretty safe bet.
