Warm here tomorrow, 82f. Record was 2017, 98F during solar minimum. That was after the record hot 2016 El Nino after the solar flares stopped as we went into solar minimum. It was hot here in ’12, ’13,’14, and ’15. Record hot/dry last three Summers now our snowpack is zero percent of normal before Summer even started from solar flares all year hitting our weak mag shield. More solar flares forecast all Summer, no global cooling. Chilly in Oz is not global cooling people are dying from heat not cold. https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/LATEST/current_c3.gif
I added that pretty blue pic to my homescreen, tho I’m not really sure how to read it. What is that bright spot to the left of the sun? Is that Mercury?
I don’t see any flare at 13:01 UTC yesterday when that M4.9 occurred. I’ve watched it run through several times but just don’t see it. Seems like a flare that big would be pretty obvious.
4 PM West Coast time it’s 100F now in Wyoming, 106F in Phoenix and Fresno, 107F in Vegas and Bakersfield, Brrrr. It was 98F today in Omaha, 91F in Nashville, 97F in Charlotte, 88F in DC. Brrrr 85F Hudson Bay Canada, 83F Manitoba, 91F in S Dakota. It’s 67F ‘ere, perfect nice S breeze, mostly cloudy. Good day for chopping firewood.
It was 102F on my front porch today. It faces south and west. Not sure of the ambient temperature, but it was pretty frickin high. I’m starting to get cabin fever.
Yes.
It’s Summer on Mercury all yr round with lead swimming ponds, red hot rocks for steaming your body and all the RAYS you can handle…maybe 10 seconds at most before…zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Pfft!
If you plan ahead, you can mitigate the effects of cold. But you can burn all the furniture you want, it won’t cool you down in a heatwave when the power goes out.
I’m free to launch my boat anywhere I want or I’m free to not pull it out of the garage. I can launch it at the boat ramp across the street and anchor it out for as long as I want and just walk down there whenever I feel like it. Or I can fire up the truck and go up to 4000 feet on the mountain Forest Service road see from Mt St Helens to Canada. Camp up there for a week If I want. Free as the wind.
It sounds perfectly lovely. I wish you great joy. If I ever get my motorhome back on the road, and I’m not too old to drive it, I may be doing something similar.
Texas (at least Gulf Coast area) is currently about “average” for this time of the year with daytime highs of 96F. Humidity is about normal, too. The “heat dome” baked us last summer for weeks on end, but this year’s current northern location is keeping tropical depressions from going into full hurricane mode.

Typo! “ enforcing austerity and privatization. ” – should be ‘privation’ !

Or was it 9.3? Numbers are not my thing.

Only on the front side, lol.☺️
Cold or cool weather causes about 4.6 million deaths a year mainly through increased strokes and heart attacks, compared with about 0.5 million deaths from hot weather.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(21)00081-4/fulltext
Cold or cool weather causes our blood vessels to constrict to conserve heat raising blood pressure and making strokes and heart attacks more likely.
It is quite clear that the majority of stroke and heart attacks in the US occur during the cooler months.
Strokes by month in the US.

So what?
Hi dick
Here is a reference heat vs. cold death. It is a interesting read.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshuacohen/2023/07/19/excessive-summer-heat-can-kill-but-extreme-cold-causes-more-fatalities/
In this article the following is stated: Exposure To Extreme Cold Is More Fatal
According to a 2021 study published in The Lancet Planetary Health, cold is far more deadly. For every death linked to heat, nine are connected to cold.
Just a thought!
If you plan ahead, you can mitigate the effects of cold. But you can burn all the furniture you want, it won’t cool you down in a heatwave when the power goes out.

If it weren’t for bad news, I’d have no news at all…
Solar flare then a Schumann spike two weeks ago, Mercury going by Jupiter:

The last set of green beans I planted started growing this is take 5. I had the first 4 tries in the house at night no results. My first sugar snap peapod grew yesterday that plant is now 7 feet tall! I have 12 zuke plants going I started 4 more because they grow good here. Crab season starts 7/1. I can launch my 14 foot boat anywhere I want because I am free as the wind.

I just got my boat tabs they’re due 7/1 and went to Costco and got six pounds of coffee beans. 140 mile loop made six stops shopping and back by noon. I bought this aluminum boat twelve years ago for $1500. 00. Has a twenty horse Mercury outboard and came with an electric trolling motor and I bought good oars and a fish finder. Easy to launch skiff. And I have a canoe throw it in the back of the truck. Truck tip top shape 350ci 4X4 new tires/brakes/shocks. full tank of gas. I know where all the boat launches are so many to choose from ‘ere no crowds. Canopy on the truck new foam mattress in the box. Garden is planted, go fish.

Let me know if you ever get down to the Lake of the Ozarks. We’ll do lunch.

We’re getting the same temps in Missouri, hundreds of miles north of you. Not fair!
Summer just started five days ago bit early for hurricanes. Dust cloud from Africa toned down Atlantic pattern:
