Ok sorry..Texas is more comparable ..You're right

 

 

What do Midland Texas and Hartford CT have in common. Both so far this July with AVG. TEMP. 80.3 degrees pic.twitter.com/BBGh2lOhQF

 

A few days ago Wichita Falls had it's coldest July day since records started in 1913.  DFW and OKC have both had some record cold days as well.  Their highs were about what my overnight low was last night, 75.5.

Was at my sons scout camp near Monadnock last night. They seemed alright but tired. The heat was wearing them down

Starting at 71F. Low 90s again today and tomorrow.

Those ORH heat wave dates sniwman21 posted are great. 1988 was terribke

Bigtime

 

The North American Drought of 1988 was one of the worst droughts ever in the United States. It was a multi-year drought which began in 1988 and continued into 1989. The drought caused $60 billion in damage (between $80 billion and $120 billion for 2008 USD). The drought was the occasion of the worst blowing-dust events since 1977 or the 1930s in many locations in the Middle West including a protracted one which closed schools in South Dakota in late February 1988. During the spring records for lowest monthly total and longest interval between measurable precipitation were set, for example, 55 days in a row without rain in Milwaukee, and during the summer two record-setting heat waves developed, exactly as they did in 1934 and 1936. The concurrent heat waves killed 4,800 to 17,000 people in the United States. During the summer of 1988, the drought led to many forest fires in Western North America, including the Yellowstone fire. At its peak, the drought covered 45% of the United States. This seems minor when compared to the Dust Bowl's 70%, but the drought of 1988 is not only the costliest drought in US history, it was the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history, prior to Hurricane Katrina. In Canada, drought-related losses added up to about 1.8 billion [1988] dollars.

This hot spell with high dews and some rain has certainly been nice for the rooftop terraces at the museum, can not fit the whole roof in but here is a section seen from my office.(my crappy cell pics as usual) we have had two weddings there so far this month with another the 27th. Just a great venue and an award winning green roof again this year. Irrigation helps too. Some nice synoptic rains coming next week which is needed for my home as my lawn is mid summer parched in spots and nightly watering of the gardens is getting old. Looking forward to someone breaking 100 today or tomorrow then its boom boom pow.

You're beginning to jump the shark. All I said was "if" they verified. No need to get passive aggressive.

 

 

He's like a little kid getting his lollipop stolen from him if you even mention the possibility of weather he doesn't like. Like in the winter when the torch comes after a long period of snow/cold its "congrats to those who want warmth, everyone's snow will be gone including MRG and dendrite."
