My problem with the heat lately has been the nights staying hot. Heat during the day has always been a thing and yeah it's hotter but it's not so much hotter than it's ruinous to an otherwise already hot as fuck summer. 

What's with all this humidity in Austin though? That seems a bit strange that the dew point is significantly higher than even 3-5 years ago. 

It’s piss.

Anyone in denial of climate change at this point is a certified window licker.

Completely disagree. As you said, the evidence points in only one direction. The planet is getting warmer and both qualitative and quantitative data prove it. Now if you want to talk about the role of

This is the norm. We'll be breaking records until we all die.

"In the next 10 to 15 days, the country will experience the highest temperatures ever recorded," researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) said in a statement earlier this week. They called the heat wave "unprecedented."

Drove into Austin today to visit the Natural Gardner and get lunch. Yeah, it was hot, but what got me was the air quality. From the 290/I35 overpass you could barely see the downtown skyline.

Careful, some dumb ass might think that. They will blame the river and want it drained and turned into apartments.

But then where would bodies be hidden by our resident mass murderer.

Nah, it is concrete dust and auto exhaust. Once you got out of that area you could make out the outlines of clouds.

Actually, it’s smoke from the seasonal ag burning in Mexico and Central America. It was pretty bad yesterday.

Meh, that is all BS and we know it. It is all the vapers on Rainey Street.

I understand the burning in Central America. Airport in Honduras would get closed during the seasons due to this. But it sure as hell made me not want to run or bike.

If my calculations are correct, by 2040 we'll have over 400 days per year over 100 degrees.

Sorry, that was a typo. It should have said 110 degrees, not 100.

So - if a howler monkey drops dead out of a tree from heat and nobody’s there to hear it…… should I insist on two-stroke engines?

What time and what part of it? Don't take any cans. Can Ban is real.

Considerably further downstream from San Marcos, where all the tourist piss flows.

Yep, that is the way to do it. I would say go to Martinale if you have the time.

If not, Three Mile Dam can be cool and not a lot of people.

We drove down from Dallas yesterday and noticed the same thing. Yuck

Floating Martindale to Staples today. Kiddo’s first kayak trip. This is my fav stretch on the SM.

I thought I was imagining things yesterday when I opened the garage doors and it was as if it was foggy outside. Immediately dripping sweat, I was like, I sweater gawd I can see the humidity!

We had to do some work on our cistern - the pipes were dripping from humidity condensation (dew point is high and the temp lower inside the pipes before they hit the cistern). A constant trickle of condensation - easily 5-10 gallons during the day. The air was basically sweating its balls off.

I really thought climate change would be incremental, like 'normal' food inflation prices at a grocery store. If indeed the ball dropped in 2022, it's been a sledgehammer so far. The last 2 summers have been hell and this summer looks no different. Home owners insurance on basically every coastal state has skyrocketed since 2022 due to wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, wind hail etc. Not to mention the ridiculous temps, both highs in the 105-109 range and lows in the upper 80s.
