It isn't that unusual. This Summer has actually been fairly mild outside of the past few weeks.

During 1930, 1931, 1933, 1934 and 1936, more than 70% of the US reached 100F (38C.) This year so far has been third lowest on record with only 23% of the US having reached 100F. Summers in the US were much hotter prior to 1960

Through July 27, the percentage of the US to have reached 95F (35C) this year is third lowest since 1895, down almost 50% from 1931.

Flipping the script now appreciating the 30% rain chance Tuesday. There have been an impressive string of virtually ZERO % rain days lately.

At the risk of it being downvoted again I will post the precip outlooks for the near future.





In an El Nino Summer with high pressure dominating and no tropical Gulf systems on the horizon "Near Normal" is about as good as you can expect.

Why are there always these people who for some reason feel compelled to argue that this isn’t a hotter than average summer?

No, several weeks or two-plus months of consistent 100 degree temperatures are not what our usual summers are like.

It simply is a hot year this year.

If you want to take it out of the context of the sentence it was in, then sure.

But I know you’re super macho like stout. It’s always this hot. No need at all to ever discuss this simply being a hot June and July.

NOPE! It simply cannot be that this summer is hotter than the last few have been. We have to pretend that it’s this hot this consistently every year.

Those maps are actually exciting. But only they bring a relief from heat, even a little.

The “or” right before what you called a lie.

But you’re just wanting to be pedantic anyway. This is a perfectly normal summer! Every year is exactly like this one. Anyone who says anything about the heat is stupid.

Look above and see I posted actual proof. You are posting conjecture.

Data telling me that it was hotter in the 60’s or 30’s could not be less relevant to my belief that this summer is hotter and more consistently hot than we have had recently in south Louisiana.

But I know I know “it’s just hot in the summer”

It isnt typical, though happens occasionally, in southern Louisiana due to the proximity to the coast.

Also, the thread is about BR/LA. Yes, Im aware other locations in the United States regularly reach 100.

Also, just a point on the "muh 30s were hotter" argument. Yeah, we Dust Bowl'd ourselves. Look at the global anomalies. The unusual heat was localized.

It aint now.

If the last time we had this heat it was followed by the dust bowl, let’s hope it rains. We don’t need a repeat of the 1930s.
