Just How Hot Was It?
In the continental United States only two states recorded temperatures lower than 90° today - Washington and Michigan. And the numbers for the year so far are ominous. The trend is warmer, much warmer. For the first six months of this year, we are experiencing a trend more than 3.4° warmer than average.
And every state, including Washington and Michigan, reported warmer than average temperatures today.
An inconvenient statistic. The details here.
