I'm very much in shape. Not only have I done daily planking since Spring 2022, but I did a 26.2 full marathon in Oct. 2022 in Michigan in 3:48:52, and I walk with the best of 'em
I work from home, 2400 sqft house, AC on 68, Jon Wayne warranty.
Anything higher indoors not only makes me temperamental but it makes my upper sinus congestion flare-up, particularly on the left side. Already had surgery 3 times, nothing more can be done.
Shoveling snow shirtless for an hour in Wisconsin, I did that no problem. Had a good ole time.
Solution long term will be to migrate north, and I think climate refugee is going to e house prices up north, maybe not next year but 10+ years down the road when people figure out they ed up big time by moving to the sun belt and even most of California not 3 miles or less from the coast is too hot.

Michigan is next generation's Coastal California, tbh. The lake effect snow there will be lighter and dry up more in the future.
NYC/DC will be more like Florida next generation. Hot and humid most of the year, mild winters with some occasional cooling.
California will get drier and hotter and Florida will become like modern day South India.
Texas will be basically Chad
edit too much bragging.
Dont run a marathon again. Just dont. Its not good for you at all.

I actually agree with this. Even most science and health experts on all sides agree that that amount of intense cardio all at once is not good for the body, kidneys, etc
I peed out blood upon getting back to the Y. And it was 44 degrees outside. Imagine how bad it would be if it had been like 60+. I chugged a half gallon of water and quickly recovered but DAMN. Scary experience. Apparently short lived hematuria is normal post-marathon, but damn.
Don't need AC in a place that only gets into the 80s. Never had AC, never wanted AC when I lived in LA. A box fan was plenty in that kind of climate.
In western LA yeah, but Hawaii is not only in the 80s every day but the heat indexes soar well into the 90s due to the very high humidity due to the tropical archipelago location surrounded by warm water and being surrounded by the tropical upper tropospheric trough.
The water off the coast of Cali is cold and pleasant, well not to swim in except for on those 90 degree days. But it really moderates the temps unlike warm water. And due to the colder water and elevation between the coast and land in addition to the dry effect of the eastern desert, you don't get nearly the humidity in Cali that you do in other area where water is near.
Marathon was a bucket list item I'll probably never do again, but I'm proud I did it at least once in my lifetime and I have the medal and a pretty decent time, even though it's not really close to qualifying for Boston or something like that.
Holy , WOAI News 4 just predicted 106 to 108 degrees in the extended 10-day forecast on the 10 o'clock news, with the chance of 110.Would be near record heat.
You're not looking at heat indices? I'm not seeing anyone else predicting anything over 106. On a side note with today's high we have 2.5x more days of 105+ in 2023 than recorded in any other year.Holy , WOAI News 4 just predicted 106 to 108 degrees in the extended 10-day forecast on the 10 o'clock news, with the chance of 110.
And there's still an outside chance I believe of breaking the all time record for most triple digit days.
It's not an outside chance. The forecast I posted above going through August 22nd gets us to 57 and 59 is the record with plenty of peak summer time to pick up two more.
Back to chasing the record for most 100+ days in a row, at 13 as of August 11th with 104+ forecast for the next 7 days. Probably shouldn't have any trouble getting the record this time at 21.
We might get a rain day though
Who knows. Maybe we'll get a tropical storm that sits over us for a month like Erin in 2007 or an arctic blast that brings us some late-August snow, deep freezes, and power outages. We just don't know.
I don’t know that every summer from now on is going to be like this, but the trend is obvious. In the 2030’s there will be at least one summer worse than this one. The models have long predicted that the Hill Country would burn in the 2030’s, and that seems like a fait accompli now.
All kinds of rain up in Amarillo and Oklahoma
It’s a giant shield over most of Texas
I was hoping like that last year after we had our hottest summer ever recorded then. That we'd have to wait for 2030 to see a successor. Now I have abandoned that kind of hope since there probably will never be a normal with global warming going at the rate it is.
that's not true. There was a below normal temp year as recently as 2021. I don't believe we hit 100 a single day, and if we did it was just one day in September. There's a debate on to whether that specific day in September was 99 or 100, but still, it was a well below normal year.
There will come a summer where, not even due to El Nino or La Nina but some fluke weather pattern, where the high pressure ridge is displaced far to the east or west or north and the steering flow will favor a big drought-busting tropical cyclone to park over Texas for a month and for Texas to get tons of sea breeze rain all month. 2016 was another year like that. Most of August was in the 80s iirc, and not just the rainy days.
2021 is the outlier. 2020 had the sixth highest number of 100+ days ever recorded here. 2022 has the second most. 2023 will probably be first. Also August 2016 had 9 days below 90, not most of the month.
Also just jumped to #2 on for most consecutive days at 100+ for the second time this year, at 15 days.
To have two of those in the same year is quite the impressive feat. Typically, once the high pressure retreats, it retreats for good, especially with the moderate to severe El Nino currently present.
The impressive thing about 2023 is that, outside of like 2 days, [one of them July 7th as that day I specifically picked to spend at Sea World (didn't even get a sunburn or need sunscreen that day as it was overcast but not rainy and mid 80's)] this summer has been extremely consistent and persistent since the very beginning of June. And it's not like we had such an anomalously hot May like we had last year or even in 2011.
2016 was simply a year I remember as being a fairly modest summer, especially in the dog days from mid-July to early-September.
2013 was the year I suffered the most in the heat because I had to walk all over campus and off campus to haul books in Denton and it was consistently around 107 degrees and humid there in August and the first couple weeks of September. But Denton had a very cool fall in 2013, it even snowed and canceled school for a week late in the fall.
In the last 37 days we have had two days of 99, otherwise it has been all 100s.
