I feel like all of the corn, etc in the Midwest is helping to save us so far. Puts out a lot of moisture which makes it more difficult to heat up. A way around it would be to get a drought to set in early enough to take out a good amount of crops, like what happened in 2012. Maybe there will come a day when the corn effect gets overridden by what's happening in the background, but we're not there yet. Until then, I think we're going to be more prone to ridiculous warmth in the other seasons.
