All 50 States See Record Highs in July


No state in the union was safe from July's blistering heat wave, according to data from the U.S. National Climatic Data Center.

The horrible July heat wave, lasting weeks in some cities, the entire month in others, affected nearly 200 million people in the United States at some point. Preliminary data show that 2,712 high-temperature records were either tied or broken in July, compared with 1,444 last year, according to the NCDC. At least one weather station in all 50 states set or tied a daily high temperature record at some point during July.

Two weather stations tied for the hottest temperature recorded during July. The Blythe station in Riverside County, Calif., and the Gila Bend station in Maricopa County, Ariz., both hit 120 degrees Fahrenheit (48.9 degrees Celsius) in July.

Even Alaska recorded unusually sweaty temperatures. The temperature at the Northway weather station in Southeast Fairbanks County hit a record 97 F (36.1 C) on July 11.

In NJ, we went into the 90's in May --

All of July has been pretty much 90 or more -- got into the 100's --

Would imagine that August will be 100's --


We are only now feeling the effects of Global Warming up to about 1960 --

there was a 50 year gap in our feeling those effects -- though the glacier melting

began in the 1940's --

Imagine all we did after 1960!

1. Drought conditions remain high also.

Many parts of the country are experiencing drought conditions with no relief in sight.

2. "Dust Bowl" level drought in 14 states

From Arizona to Florida, says the NYT.

"Nothing to see here," say the Republicon Climate liars.

5. There was a huge dust cloud that went over Phoenix, I think ....

about a month ago --

didn't post it at the time -- it was a video --

and, as I recall, no explanation accompanied the report.



Just checked Yahoo --

Arizona dust storm engulfs skyscrapers in Phoenix
A dust storm descended on the Phoenix, Arizona last night, towering over skyscrapers ... rapidly moved the dust cloud northwest through Phoenix ... PAST WEEK; PAST MONTH
www.telegraph.co.uk/.../Arizona-dust-storm...in-Phoenix.html

It was Phoenix and evidently there was a second one!

3. Surely the glacier melt beginning in the '40s was in no way related to the

god-zillions of tons of ordnance exploded during WWII nor the seeming endless explosions from the testing of atomic, and later hydrogen, weaponry. Surely not. ;) :patriot:

6. I'm also shirley on that ---

We think alike -- though suggesting that the atomic era had anything

to do with the hole in the ozone or glacier melt is a big NO< NO!!

4. been unseasonably cool here in SoCal...

7. Well, you know what that means ... ? Glaciers will likely stop melting now ... !!!
