Last summer was significantly hotter than pretty much any summer “back when I was a kid” and the stats proved that but most of the posters here would have none of that.
article from 2022 (so it doesn't include last year) shows the 10 hottest months in Baton Rouge History.
Hottest months in East Baton Rouge Parish, LA since 1895
The top 8 are all within one degree of each other.
one degree is so "significant" that you need instrumentation to even see that difference.
included in that top 8 are:
1962
1924 (which was the record monthly high average)
1951
1998
1960
2011
that covers "back in my day" for pretty much everybody that posts on this board.
a whopping 0.2 degrees behind that is 1902 in case we have any 120 year old people here, they're covered too.
I know you may find this difficult to believe, but South Louisiana is hot.
and has always been since people started keeping records.

Don’t even try. It is hotter. And animal habitats are disappearing and causing death.

You really should seek competent psychiatric help OP.

High in Jefferson parish is 91 over the next 10 days. Not sure if I would call that out of the ordinary for last half of June.

Everything they predicted failed to materialize in our region.
Talking about last year? It was way hotter than typical in Juneau last year. 21 days in summer where the high exceeded the 90th percentile for daily temp. 73 days above typical average with some days getting into the mid 80s. The typical high for Juneau is in the low 60s in the summer.

Some people don’t raise pussies. My 16 yr old son will fish when it’s 98 degrees and stay on the water all day and never complain about it being hot.

How much hotter? Is the difference really so great that you think you can notice?
It's been hot for my entire life in June, July, August, and September.

You remember incorrectly. It was globally the hottest summer ever recorded and only a few places on earth (the east coast of the US being one of them) weren't significantly hotter than average.
Most of western europe was way way hotter than typical.
So again, this one abnormally hot year makes OP not have to back up his bullshite?

Where are temperatures being taken?
Surely more and more globs of metal and pavement being placed everywhere they can find the space don't impact temperature readings..... right?
Read about the Urban Heat Island.

It was so awesome, more snow than average. South Central Ak was like Fairbanks, record snows and temps. Despite the dire predictions.
We love you simps. Yall are entertaining.

And comparing records from 1850 when they started until now is an unfair comparison anyway. There is no way records from 100+ years ago or even just 60+ years ago are nearly as abundant and accurate as they are today
IIRC they adjust the older records and allow a margin of error due to how inaccurate and how few records there are

Last weekend, I got out around 4:00 PM to cut the grass, trim some overgrowth, power washed my kids playset, messed around in the garden etc. As soon as the grass was cut, my two boys came out to help and play. We didn't go inside until it was dark, so I was outside about 4 hours, and they were out there with me for 3.5 hours. A couple of capri sun pouches and some bug spray and they were fine. Filthy, but fine. Hosed them off before I let them inside, then threw them in the shower to get clean. It was above 90 degrees the whole time, and no one died.

I can’t tell from your post if you’re agreeing last summer was an anomaly or if you’re saying people were bitching for nothing, but the average high in Baton Rouge in August 2023 was 101.5. This is significantly higher than the previous record years.
I’m not an “omg climate change” person, but it’s ridiculous for people to pretend like it wasn’t hotter than normal here last summer

Crazy thing about the weather, it's always hot in the summer, and always cold in the winter. It takes an incredible amount of hubris to believe you can control global weather patterns.

Me too. As a child, you aren't as perceptive or susceptible to the affects of temperature as an adult. Congrats on getting old!

I remember many times as a kid, going to my grandma's house for Sunday lunch, and everyone sitting on the porch. Sound of the cicadas in the trees, no Air conditioner, and feeling like i was going to melt. It was hot in the past too. No big difference. And it's no more a "legitimate health risk" than it was then too.

Because now, we as parents, are more helicopter parents. My mom kicked me out of the house after breakfast, and told me to come back at lunch, but don't dare wake your dad up (he was workign shift work). Eat a sandwich then back out again. Kids are softer nowadays (mine included) because they are more coddled, and because their are more dangers out. Idiot drivers on cell phones, crazy arse people that should be in a sanitorium or on pills wandering the streets...

On June 23rd, 1984 it was 103 degrees in Dallas TX. The high this week is 99 degrees. You're saying it's so much hotter now?
We've always had heat waves. If you haven't noticed this year is about 10 degrees cooler than last year around this time.
