Another hot day here in central NC, upper 90s. Hurricane Lee is currently forecast to pass us by, but depending on when it makes its expected northerly turn, New England might be affected, and maritime Canada might want to be concerned.

Things heating up in NYC, too.
“Mayor Adams warns migrant crisis will ‘destroy’ NYC, rips Biden for failing to help”—
https://nypost.com/2023/09/07/nyc-mayor-adams-says-migrant-crisis-will-destroy-the-city-during-town-hall/

What hizzoner doesn’t understand is this is not a bug but a feature.
A President “Biden” feature.
(Actually, President “Cloward-Piven”.)

Besides, why should Da Big Apple be any different from SF? LA? NO? Chicago? Portland? Philly? Boston? Seattle? Baltimore? DC???? Memphis?

And Trudeau, up north, is doing his best, too!

Newsflash, climate change is man made!

They were right after all.

That is to say environmentalists and their minions in the press cause climate change. For 40 years they’ve prevented wide spread adoption of nuclear energy.

Therefore, climate change IS man made.

And think how much cooler we would be right now without climate change!

I do not recall it ever staying so hot so long in Texas. A good rule of thumb has been that whatever the misery of the 100 degree days in August, after Labor Day, the daily high goes below 100, and the daily low drops below the 78-80 summertime low. Quite tolerable. IIRC, that has been the pattern every year I have been in Texas. Not this year. It has stayed above 100 well into September.

The one year I needed air conditioning, my air conditioner broke down. I guess I can’t complain, as it lasted 20 years.

My brother lives in southern Maine. In a recent conversation comparing weather, he pointed out that come February, the perspective will be different.

Just checked. Eighties here all week. August is the last of our summer.

I usually mark it by when the elderberries are gone. Rained just before end of July so really good haul this year. Now just the ones I left to dry up for the birds.

When you miss summer, come visit us in Central Texas, we’ve got at least three more months of it.

steve walsh: I left Southern ME five years ago to come down here, this year has me seriously questioning my decision.

Still have two more triple digit days in the forecast where I live in East Texas. Very dry . I am not sure how many triple digit days we have had this summer. It was more than 20 last I heard. Very dry. I think we got about a tenth of an inch of rain during August, with triple digit temps almost every day.
The bull nettles are still mostly green. And the larger goat weeds, though many of the smaller ones have wilted. The yuccas are still green.There is some woody type weed that has stayed green that the goats have been eating. Most of the un-watered grass is brown. Even much of the bahai grass is brown. The grapes have stayed green. Have to water the blueberries frequently.
