[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand all the complaining about the summer weather here. Are y’all really this stupid? DC is basically in the south. It might be the northern edge of the south, but it’s still the south. We’re basically at sea-level, at a latitude only 15 degrees away from the tropics. Of course it’s going to be blazing hot and super humid in the summers. Why are people constantly surprised by this??? Do you not understand how to look at a map? [/quote] It is getting worse. I moved here from the South decades ago and summers were a breeze. The temps almost never were near 100. Not only is the heat horrible but the persistent drought makes the area look like a hellscape. I like to garden and have adjusted the plants I grow because of the changing climate. [/quote] I was born here decades before you moved here decades ago. It’s always been like this. [/quote] I was born here as well and am now in my 40's. The weather we had this past week never occurred before mid-July/early August. [/quote] Remember 2011?[/quote] Yes, there was a heat wave in July 2011 that peaked on July 22nd. But my point was that in the 80's, 90's and aughts, we never had a heat wave in June. [/quote] This is true. But more to the point, why are people arguing about "it's always hot" or "it's never that hot" when we have actual data from the last 100+ years that show us exactly what is happening. Are you all like the same people who are vaccine deniers and all that crap, thinking scientists are some evil cohort trying to play mind control games or something? It's freaking nuts that people don't see this is the beginning of the end of normalcy with regards to weather. [/quote]
