(22,636 posts)Just about anyway. Now that frost is finally showing up here, a month late, people are all surprised by it, but clueless that average temps should be more like a deep freeze.
And, AND, the average temps already factor in all the previous years, including the last three decades of rising temps AND STILL the morning lows are higher. We're phucked. Not as a nation, as an intelligent species and we're going to take all the rest, less the insects with us.
See if your location has the same excessively high low temperatures.
1) Goto Intellicast.com
2) Pick or type in your city or a nearby city/town. Like Denver, CO for instance <example here>
3) Next, observe the forecast low daily temps for the coming week: 33, 35, 35, 37, 37, 37, 37, 36, 36*
4) Select the 'Historic Averages' in the upper right portion of the same screen and look at how far off the average low temps are: 23, 23, ,23, 23, 22, 22, 22, 21, 21, 21.
See that? The temps aren't 1.5 or 2 or 4 degrees above normal. They're 10* to 15* above normal
Temps should be: 23, 23, ,23, 23, 22, 22, 22, 21, 21, 21
Temps actually R: 33, 35, 35, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 36, 36*
Difference ??????: 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 15, 15, 16, 15, 15
