So tired of the media trying to make summer heat a scary thing

I worked landscaping in Alabama in the 90s, I remember weeks of 102° - there is nothing special or new about this heat we’re having. And they never used to display the heat index with scary red colors like they are now. I hope people don’t fall for it.

Just tell people you think it is just as hot as it was last year... and the year before, the year before,...

I'm in New Orleans and it isn't any hotter than normal. In fact it might be a little below normal. But, we are getting heat advisories daily. It's all so tiring. I've got so much "fatigue" about so many things.

These weather folks can't go 4 days without some kind of weather alert.
House I grew up in in AL had no A/C.

We've been having a really nice June in Houston. Weather has been about as good as it can get for summer.

I specifically remember a summer in central Alabama in the early 1980s with a week or two of 105+ degrees every day. Temps in the mid 90s and high humidity have always been common in the Deep South.

Fearmongering is the new way to invoke politics into a topic without listening to a politician.

Fearmongering is the deliberate act of spreading exaggerated or false rumors of impending danger to manipulate public opinion, incite panic, or drive a specific agenda. It relies on emotion rather than reason, discouraging logical thinking in favor of a fear-based reaction

Yep. Now we have "Heat Domes"... whatever that is. I think it used to be called... Summer.

Summer is hot, winter is less hot. That about sums up our Louisiana weather

Same here. For 15 straight days, from Jul 6–20, 1980, we got over 100 degrees. And that was the actual temperature. Not the "heat index".

I’ll be out at the beach tomorrow, watching the Blue Angels, drinking some beer, sweating my arse off, and loving every second of it.

We've gone beyond red. Today I saw it on the verge of bright ultraviolet.
They'll have it pulsating in another month.

It's hot in Tuscaloosa today just as it's been every summer.
Summers aren't hotter, people are just softer. Young folks couldn't have survived our Gen X childhood.

My MSNBC watching and NPR listening mother has fallen for it hook line and sinker.

Also of note every media outlet darkened their color scheme for hot temps. Everything is amplified to make it seem worse. Reds are redder and go dark purple and go white.
Its all mind games to keep panic in the minds of sheeple so they can keep grifting off them

no doubt...1980 - 42 straight day over 100 and one day at 113. In the video they talk about a heat wave in 1952 that lasted 25 days in a row.
