I can't imagine living in that heat.

Florida man says, where's my beer?

 

I'm checking the weather closely because I'm headed to Colorado springs for a company instructor assignment for a few weeks, with the family to make it part vacation. It looks to be a hot road trip but it's rental from Portland so I'll drive it like it was stolen getting to Co.

 

Sitting here in NE Ohio (Cleveland area) we have only had a single 90 degree F day and it just made 90. Normally we have had a string of 5 to 7 days of 90+ days by now so we are actually below average overall. Currently cooler today as it is a nice day and 74 at 6:45 PM today. The humidity has also been low with only a few uncomfortable days. Last Winter was not as brutal as most with only one sub zero period of a few days around Christmas and much less snow than usual.

Florida man says, where's my beer?

Hey, I'm finally re-acclimated. Got a fast six mile run in today -- and it felt good.

One really does get used to his local environment.

Yes, after a while hell doesn't feel so hot.

I'll take a Florida summer hell to a northern winter hell any day.

And I’ll take the exact opposite! Doesn’t feel cold until the temp drops below -20°F… I’m uncomfortably hot when the temp rises above 70°F.

An anticyclone – a high-pressure area – named Cerberus (named after the monster from Dante’s Inferno) coming from the south will cause temperatures to rise above 40°C across much of Italy. This comes after a spring and early summer full of storms and floods.

The highest temperature in European history was broken on 11 August 2021, when a temperature of 48.8°C was recorded in Floridia, an Italian town in the Sicilian province of Syracuse. That record may be broken again in the coming days.

“Climate warming amplified this year by El Niño severely affects food production, water availability as well as our health. To properly adapt to these changes we need timely information at actionable resolution which the Copernicus programme is providing with Sentinel-3 and soon with the Copernicus Land Surface Temperature Monitoring mission at 50 m resolution,” commented Benjamin Koetz, Mission Scientist of the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring mission.

The extreme temperatures in Europe follow record-shattering global temperatures. On Monday, the World Meteorological Organization stated that the planet saw the hottest few days on record in first few days of July.

This follows the hottest June on record, with unprecedented sea surface temperatures and record low Antarctic sea ice extent. According to a report from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, June 2023 was just over 0.5°C above the 1991-2020 average.

Floridia man. I predict women in bikini's.

Fast one mile, lifted weights, jumped in the pool. Love this weather.

Oh -- and a Guinness for carb loading.

I told you ... Where's my beer?

 

Today, it's tequila sunrises on the beach.

Life is good.

Those very thin wires attached to the pole on the right. They're to scare away the seagulls, right?

I suppose they could be clothes lines for visiting South Americans or Brooklynites.

 

Back in the pool with beer.

The solution to global warming.

Or summer.

Whatever you want to call it.
