Get Ready For Scorching Summer Heat

All indications are that summer temperatures will be up in the neighborhood of 5 degrees above normal coming in the not too distant future. Looks to be deadly. West Coast fire season could be a monster. Midwest has drought like conditions and the East Coast could be absolutely steamy. Global warming? Expect to feel it this summer.

The sky is falling!!

Its never been hot before in the summer!

PS, Check the mid 30's and the dust bowl era...or 1988 for that matter

already scorching in these parts...people and all walks of life are desperate.

rarely gets above 75 in coastal Ventura County - most homes don't even have AC

we had a frost warning here two nights ago, neighbour had to bring in her tomato and strawberry plants

64 and cloudy today. I had to turn the heat on in the car.

Summer can show up any day as far as I'm concerned. We've probably only had 2-3 days over 80 so far.

WTF?????

The world is comming to a end...90+ today 50 mph winds and the Cicades are flying every were.......It is like getting hit with BB's when you are outside.

I never get hot, until it passes 110 degrees, bring it on !

I'm in training for Hell, just in case there is one.

90 and sunny here in Ohio today. LOVE the hot weather

about 85 over her in southern CA

Cicades? Wasn't that like 3 years ago? I thought they were like every 17 years?

17 year cycle for the bugs life, but different batches ( or whatever you call it), exist.

Only 60F today, which is good since the Fraser river is expected to peak this weekend. Significant flooding from the Northern rivers and still a good amount of the third largest recorded winter snow pack to melt.

Today was 92 but windy and actually felt great. I plan on living by the pool for the next 2 weeks or so as we are looking at solid sun (not good for grass but great for the pool)

Actually, I read somewhere that this year is supposed to be an INSANE year for them.

But it doesn't mean they ALL came out in 1990, and return in 2007.

They can have the 17 years cycle, and cycle differently in different areas.

Some are 13 year, some 17 year. The Eastern one a few years back was a bust.
