I just go by the mean temperatures as that’s the gold standard metric for temps and how it affects the natural environment.

If the average temperature is 5 degrees above the new warm baseline, the natural environment is torching… how it affects growing seasons, habitats, etc.  Don’t care how it gets there necessarily.

And I mean we joke about nighttime mins… but no one had A/C here 15 years ago.  Literally no one.  It gets down to 52F on average like the min says, everyone is fine windows open.  We now sit like 60-65F+ at night and everyone has A/C.  The torch has impacts.

That works with equal sunshine, as that's what runs the factories, and a day of 77/55 is likely to have more hours of sun than 70/62.
 

You can already envision the early morning posts from the usual suspects. 
48.2.. Feels great.. windows wide open .. hoodie on in August .. 

50.8 for the low so far… hoping to sneak into upper 40’s 

44.2 .. coldest since last May .. pool temp down to 69

47.6 .. gonna be chilly in the wood yard 

SLK down to 34.2 

Chilly day at 3k hiking with the dog today..bluebird skies but hoodie required even in mid afternoon 

GYX discussion this afternoon included the possibility of WCI's near freezing on the summits of the Whites tomorrow, cautioning hikers not to dress for the base conditions.

Good point on the higher diurnal range being drier and a different vibe.

We don’t have winter anymore so enjoy a season that’s actually performing as it should be.

Get out and do something instead of locking yourself in your parents basement from June through August.

Rather get out and do something when my balls won't be stuck to my leg.
