- falcolas 3y agoFWIW, it's only mid July. Not the hottest part of the year typically. Yet we're hitting historical records. The thing I'm concerned about is that it is likely going to get even hotter. What happens if - when - we see rolling power outages required to support the increased power demands is an open question. Historical graph of sea temperatures (since energy in the sea goes into the atmosphere) for giggles: https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/ https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/
- AndyNemmity 3y agoA few days having that temperature in a row is normal. this many is not. If you're not sure how it's in dispute, the fact it's records is the reason. Records dispute normal.
- ihumanable 3y agoSure you have records which compare the current facts with historical facts to see if what Phoenix is currently experiencing is normal or not. But the person you're replying to has anecdotes about how it's hot in the summer in Phoenix. So we are at a stalemate it seems :P
- bryanlarsen 3y agoOvernight temperatures well into the 90's for multiple days in a row is not "normal summer temps".
