It broke here a fortnight ago and it ain't been back since. I believe we're safe now and by the end of September we're looking at 8-MONTHS-8 of glorious weather.
I'm as giddy as a school girl.
Huh? Sun City and really all of Maricopa County are forecast to be in the 110s all next week.

Technically, it's not 100 yet, but yeah might as well call it since it's upper 90s and just before noon.
Tomorrow's going to be a real cold one. Temperature forecast is a high of eighty-nine degrees. Time to get out that leather coat. Skip the umbrella; umbrellas are for ladies and gots.
I ain't showin' that on my Weather Channel App. I'm showin' 1 day at 110 high thru 9/4. Even 110 ain't 115+.
NOAA's forecasting 96 for tomorrow. This death ridge is so strong we need a tropical storm to get us just to historical average for one whole day and then we're right back into the 100s.

I doubt every summer will be like this, but the trend is clear. 1980 was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime summer. Then 2011 happened. OK, 31 years is still kind of a long time. Now 2023 has happened, just 12 years later. How soon until there’s a summer even hotter? Seven or eight years? Sooner? How long until every summer is like this? 2050 maybe? It’s not summer. It’s heat season. You spend weeks of the year having to organize errands to be done by 11:00. You wait until 6:30 or 7:00 for even the pool to be tolerable.
We should be telling our kids to get the out of Texas. It’s over. We can’t even hope for a dry heat. In Texas, if it’s dry, that means there’s been two months of drought and all the trees are ready to burn. That will be lovely when it’s 110 outside and full of fire and smoke. Literal !
2022 was hotter than 2011 here
You're lookin' to turn Texas, Stout. Uh, uh.
I asked this question last year when we had the hottest summer ever recorded here. And the answer was... one year.
Not even 2:00PM and it's ing 103 already at the airport
Fortunately, the analog years for 2024 are ::
-1998
-2002
-2007
-2010
-2016
Next year, it's going to be --- that all the rain and flooding is caused by all that anthropogenic global warming. Ignoring the fact that we'll already be doing July 4th fireworks & haven't even come close to sniffing the century mark yet.
No ing way
Time to bump this since we're at 95 before noon

it's roughly as bad in some places in South America -- where it is winter right now.
second day in a row ERCOT has asked Texans to conserve energy
With these sorts of impacts at 1.2C, 2C might be enough to disrupt civilization.
and the fourth time in eight days
IIRC, NASA has already suggested 2C as a tipping point beyond which effects of climate change will be cascading and unpredictable.
Global warming so strong we're tying the record today in an El Nino year.

Another ERCOT conservation call from 3-9pm.
I was going to say if we have blackouts it would be tomorrow from the compressional heat ahead of the cold front coming Monday, but forgot it's going to be moving really slowly and Dallas is getting that compressional heat right now when they're at 108 (the front comes in and drops the high to 99 tomorrow for them). Still think tomorrow might be worse though with Austin, San Antonio, and Houston all getting that heat ahead of the cold front, but today could def be ugly too.
Automated demand side solutions would be cheaper and easier than building new power plants, and would render voluntary conservation unnecessary, but they would cut into energy company profits. Can't have that.
Current forecast from TWC gets us to 73 days as of September 9th
