The dishonest LIBS are trying to convince you global warming is real by leaving ALASKA off the map. ALASKA is still cold, therefore climate change not real. Checkmate, atheists. ^/s in case it’s not obvious^
That’s boiling temperature! How come they are still alive?
Not boiling in Fahrenheit!
Why do you use outdated, non-standard units, then?
I complain about this all the time to my friends in the US! Mostly with distance measurements, but still. I wish the US would use C, metric etc.
So what’s California without Death Valley?
Still hot as hell. The central valley, and basically anywhere more than 10 miles inland that isn’t elevated, is insufferable in the summer. Sacramento has a high of 102 today

119 in SoCal, Indio and Palm Springs are still deserts tho.
My thought, given I’m by the coast and it’s only 85 here right now. It’s actually been weirdly cool up until August, actually, for a lot of CA. Everyone else was borrowing our summer heatwaves.
this doesn’t factor in the “feels like” temp. Florida is a LOTTT worse than other places because it’s very swampy and humid which makes your body unable to sweat to cool itself down.
I visited new Orleans for like a week a few years ago and was like “damn you bitches just get to live like this?? you can actually go outside?!” even though it was like 90°+
Humidity is killer. I’ve lived in Vegas during the summers, and New Jersey.
When it feels like you’re swimming in the air, it’s so much worse!
Yeah, I’ve been in the Mojave in the summer, and yeah, it’s hot during the day, but when the sun goes down it cools off. I live in Jersey (best state!) and when it’s 95° and 100% humidity, there is just no escape, day and night.
Shhh, we can’t let everyone know NJ is the best state, they might come here, and we’re already so packed!
If more people come…actually, maybe we’d get actual public transport then, if it gets that crowded. Hmmm…
I live in PA and experienced humidity so bad that my glasses fogged up when I stepped outside. It was awful.
That happens frequently if I go from AC to outside and it’s always a pain! Stupid human eyeballs, needing glasses to see!
it… doesn’t do that… everywhere?
I’ve only gotten glasses like a year and a half ago and haven’t visited father than Georgia in that time. I thought that was like an experience that happens no matter where you are. TIL.
Lol nah. I have only had it happen once in my 20 years of glasses. It was also 95F with 98% humidity. I was outside for 5 mins and almost passed out.
Great Lakes cooling is real apparently.
We’ve had plenty of very hot years, including up to a week of 100+ days.
My first thought was “Did they not get data on IL?”.
This year has been cooler, but a lot more storms.
Still plenty of 90+ days this year.
I could swear we broke 100F more than once when I was growing up in rural Ohio in the '80s and '90s. I wonder if it’s a source/data problem?
No it just wasn’t very hot this year there.
I missed “this year” in the title somehow. Oops.
It’s crazy we haven’t had any 110 days in Texas this year. It actually hasn’t felt like all that hot of a summer compared to what we usually get. I’m sure it really sucks ass for those states who aren’t used to or prepared for it.
La Niña watching over us this year. Houston has felt almost habitable for the first time in a while.
Have lived in Tennessee since 09, and just moved to SC in April. SC has been hell, temperature wise. It’s brutally hot and humid. Just spent 9 days in Texas (San Antonio), and the whole time I was there the number on the thermometer was higher than back in SC, but it felt significantly cooler. Everyone kept saying it was so humid and hotter than normal, but after 5 months in the SC low country it felt like a treat. I miss my TN weather, though. Especially now that I’m back in SC
Yeah, the worst week we had here in North Texas was back in May when it was 85F and 90% humidity. That was miserable. Give me a month of 110F 20% over that any day.
Illinois has hit 100 a couple times. I was there in July and it was 101 on multiple days in July.
Maybe very specific to the area you were at? I don’t remember it hitting 100°, at all, here (but my memory has been known to fail me, granted).
I was in Peoria. We had more than a few patients end up in the ER because of heat sickness.
Is there a version in standard international units?
94 in Wisconsin, 97 in Michigan, 98 in Vermont, 97 in Ohio.
51 degrees science in that one over there in the west?! That’s too damn hot
The temp there is going to be from Death Valley, near the Nevada border, which is the hottest place on earth.
Aha, that makes sense. Just a localised unpleasantness, rather the whole coast having air that’s uncomfortable to breath
I’m curious where Hawaii sits. Does the ocean breeze help keep it cool or no?
This lists 92°f last month, but it’s likely only for this location and not the entire state. It’s generally very temperate, with Honolulu averaging 75°-85°f all year. Looks like there are some spots that average a little higher, but the state as a whole has only a single instance of recording 100°f in 1931. But on the other end, the tops of some of the mountains are high enough they get regular snowfall every year, with the lowest ever recorded being 12°f.
ETA -
92°f = 33.3°c
75°-85°f = 23.9°-29.4°c
100°f = 37.8°c
12°f = -11.1°c
idk about 2025, but +100°F in Alaska is a thing
It’s been a thing once, at least in an official, record-keeping capacity. In Fort Yukon, AK it hit 100F in 1915, but the accuracy of that reading is still in question.
That said it is pretty normal for Fairbanks and other parts of the interior to get up in the high 80s/low 90s in the summer (before dipping down to the -20s/-30s for the winter).
