This summer was likely the hottest summer based on average temperature in Minnesota. While few records were set but there was a long string of 90 degree plus days also night time temperatures didn't drop very much. One of the predictions for Climate Change has been that average lows would rise in Northern areas. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2021/08/31/this-was-likely-the-hottest-meteorological-summer-on-record This was likely the hottest meteorological summer on record in the Twin Cities Meteorological fall begins Wednesday Paul Huttner August 31, 2021 5:31 p.m. The weather books on meteorological summer close at midnight Tuesday night into Wednesday. When the final tally is done, it looks like the meteorological summer of 2021 will edge out 1988 as the hottest summer on record in the Twin Cities. By my preliminary math, it looks like our average temperature for the Twin Cities in summer 2021 will come in around 75.6 degrees. If that number verifies it would just top the summer of 1988 which had an average temperature of 75.4 degrees. Consistently warm You can see on the temperatures chart from June through August below that temperature ran above average pretty consistently this summer. There were few cold spikes and relatively few record highs, even during our prolonged June heatwave. Persistent June heat wave Our persistent heat wave in June really drove the trend toward a record warm summer in Minnesota. Temperatures in June ran 5 to 10 degrees above average across much of Minnesota. Here are some of the more notable records from our June heat wave from the Minnesota DNR Climate Working Group. Records of note set during June 2021 heat wave: Duluth, June 4-5: earliest-in-season occurrence of two consecutive high temperatures above 90 F International Falls, June 4: highest temperature on record so early in the season (98 F) St. Cloud, June 6: highest minimum temperature recorded so early in the season (74 F) St. Cloud: most consecutive high temperatures at or above 90 F so early in the season (7) Twin Cities, June 5: highest minimum temperature on record so early in the season (78 F) Twin Cities : most consecutive low temperatures at or above 70 F so early in the season (nine) Twin Cities : most consecutive high temperatures at or above 90 F so early in the season (nine)
Too late besides human beings are too stupid to fix the situation because it’ll cost them too much money
I agree it's too late.We'll feel the full impacts of climate change to Judith Curry's delight @Os Trigonum The thing is, it won't be coast communities that suffer the most, but interior red states as their main economic driver - agriculture - takes a big hit.
Wait, FEMA didn’t declare any statewide weather disaster under Trump? Hard to believe. So, I quickly checked just LA. 2020 was a disastrous year for LA with 6 tropical storms. Zeta, Oct 2020, Disaster area declaration - Statewide Delta, Oct 2020, Disaster area declaration - Statewide Sally, Sept 2020, Disaster area declaration - Statewide Laura, Aug 2020, Disaster area declaration - Statewide Marco, Aug 2020, Disaster area declaration - Statewide Cristobal, June 2020, Disaster area declaration - Statewide Source: Declared Disasters | FEMA.gov Didn't Trump rejected to declare a disaster for the rampant wildfires in California last year? Now, that would skew the data.
