Here in Utah it's been so dammed hot that at times it seemed like the air would catch fire.
It has been an exceptionally warm summer for us here on the far north coast of California. We broke temperature records 4 days in a row last week and they exceeded the record by up to 10 degrees. We also had a warm spring and warm winter that was our driest in over 20 years. Global climate change is like a teeter totter, the lower the lows, the higher the highs or like a pendulum, it swings wide in one direction and wide in the other.
We had one week of cooler than normal temps, the rest was hot, say what you will, I live here also and I have gotten one rain shower in the last month, I live in east Collin county. Todays temp high 98 degrees is Normal for this time of year.
Um, we live in Texas Casper, we also understand how to check the temps for our areas at the numerous stations around the area. The claim of "one week of cooler, the rest was hot" is garbage. We have trended lower this summer than normal.
This has been a mild year, our temps didn't even break 100 until late June and before that the bulk of the days where in the 80's (below normal), with lows that were below normal as well.
Temps now are normal, but... take a look at the weather information for our run of 100's recently. Do you know why that occurred? We had a blocking high move in and sit stagnant for a week or so. This causes the higher temps and blocking highs are not "mysterious hot spots", they are a normal occurrence here in Texas, very normal for summers.
And exceptionally cool here on the southern coast of California.
Temps have rarely gotten out of the 70s here in San Diego, unusual for June, July, and August.
(yawn)
We hit the mid 80's last week and typically August is cool and foggy with it barely getting over the upper 60's. Our temperatures are about 5 to 10 degrees above normal for us and our rain has been significantly less over the past three years with hardly any winter rains that we are used to.

What location, what day, what temp? I would like to check the stations.
Hmmm, I guess it's news to the Manmade Global Whatever fanatics, that Arctic ice diminishes in the summertime.
In a related story, A Manmade Global Whatever fanatic recorded a temperature in his back yard yesterday of 55 degrees F at 5:00 in the morning. He checked again at 2PM and found a temperature of 75F.
He was heard to say, "Jeez, at this rate we'll all fry by the end of the month!"

This summer has been exceptionally nice this year in Alaska. During both June and July we set records for the most consecutive days in the 70°F range. However, those records only go back to 1917. August has been fairly normal, both temperature and precipitation wise.

I'd be happy having some of those "below normal" 80 degree temperatures here in north east Ohio. We've had many of days this year in the 70s. That to me is spring, or fall weather. Sumer is supposed to be hot, and unlike last summer here, this one has been rather cool. All though it is supposed to warm into the upper 80s next week, and we just had a stint of them for the first time in weeks. But of course it's going to get hot one more time, because the kids are back in school here.
Still dreading this winter though, as we've lucked out the last few years with our lack of snowfall. I don't think we'll be quite so lucky this year.
