Or you could face the ultimate summer indignity. I've seen people from Atlanta talking about summers that feel as "hot as hell" but seem to never break 100F. It's a product of those heat ridges that produce unending upper 90's with high humidity .
We still haven't even hit 70 many times this year. (And I am NOT complaining!)
It reminds me of when I compile the "days above 70F" figures for my dream climate. It's usually 20, 30, or 40, and then I go back and look at an American city I'm shocked to see 180, 200, 220, et cetera .
No 100's so far this year. The highest has been 94 for the year. It's a refreshing change from last year when it had already hit 100F or better a few times. Normal high today is 88.
Not yet but it hit 98 in the 3rd week of May and we're looking to get there again today. 100 is a pretty rare event here at any rate; it only happens "officially" once every few years. We hit it "unofficially" last year in parts of the metro area a couple times during a heat wave but the "official" temperature peaked at a mere 99.

Even here I'm guessing there are typically quite a bit more than 40 days over 70 during summer, but luckily most of those days are just a little over 70! I wouldn't complain if there were no days over 70.
