I feel a lot more productive today, partly evidenced my # of posts contributed to this forum so early on today. Looks like that the hot days for 2013 are forever gone and time to be back to business.

It should be the other way around. Today we should be posting a lot less, and enjoy the weather outdoors a lot more.

That sounds horrible.

It's true. What's also irritating is the temperature drops and the humidity goes up and then vice versa, so you get up shower and leave and it's humid out then leave to the blazing sun and still high humidity.

I don't need any scientific data to tell me it's getting hotter. The past several years I haven't been able to turn my A/C off really from June until mid-September. I remember 20 years ago summer temps in NY were in the 80 degree range, now more often than not they're in the 90s.
