I agree with Larryjk - in my 54 years I can remember much hotter AND colder times in my mis-spent youth. We tend to make much more use of AC nowdays, and people do not become aclimated to the heat like they used to. Makes it SEEM a lot hotter. I recognise this in myself as well. Ten years ago, in a little rental singlewide, I had NO AC and it was a hotbox! Went through beaucoup ice-water with fan cranked up and sweated it out.
Here in sunny Florida we had our big 'heat wave' in June, hitting over 100 degrees many days.
Now in July it has eased up, days in the mid 90s, nights dipping into the 70s. Rainy though, which is nice as it is breaking our drought.
Camping last weekend was actually quite nice.
"Global Warming" my hind leg. A money-making scam, nothing more. On another forum site, a feller listed prominent news articles of scientists voicing the exact same nonsense (and the 'coming ice-age crap) as far back as the mid 1800s, all the way up through the 20th century! Sensationalism sells papers, radio and TV space. As always - 'follow the money'!
Me, I'll drink another glass of ice-water, crank the fan to 'high' and enjpy the summer!
I like to keep AC use to a minimum - no sense feeding the local "Arc&Spark' company any more than I have to.
