Hot And Humid Returns. The New Reality Is No Longer Deniable
by Jon Katz
More hot, more humid, the new reality is no longer deniable I think.
I fear you are right Jon. I remember when I was a child 80 degrees Fahrenheit was considered an extremely hot day. (I was born in 1944). I often wonder in these extremely hot days with temperatures rising to 100 degrees, how my mother and grandmother would have coped, I’m sure they wouldn’t.

Yes, we are living the new reality. We are living in our basement. A block away from our home a tornado hit a few weeks back. Another hit a town nearby a couple of days ago causing millions of dollars of damage (there were 8 all together in the lower half of Wisconsin that particular day). Wisconsin had its first February tornado in history this year, and that one did damage too. And yesterday the heat index was 110. MS and heat don’t mix well!
It’s surprising how many people deny that there is change…or that we are part of the cause. We’ve watched the ocean change so much in the last 15 years. But if you live in a bubble and never are out in nature….I guess they mostly don’t see it, except to turn the AC up. I will never move away from the temperate coastal temperatures.
