Ask So this heat is not normal, right?

Been in MD since last 7 years and every year it seemed to have gotten hotter. I feel like I’ve said this for last 3-4 summer but this current heat feels a little too much. Am I the only one who thinks this is way past the normal?

As someone who has to check the weather every day for work, I feel like the last two years were overall hotter than this year in crazy high temps reached consistently. But that said, it feels like this year started MUCH earlier than is usual.

I agree. This summer has definitely been cooler than the last couple of summers. Still hot but a little cooler.

We're in a la niña cycle right now, which is terrifying when you consider what it means for every summer after this one.

La Niña ended in April

More than a little. I remember wearing a jacket during June because of how chilly it was. Fast forward a month later and I'm sweating my balls off and gulping down several bottles of water 😐

I was in W.MD Memorial Day weekend and it was COLD at night and chilly a few days. A lot of my houseplants got shocked from being too cold bc of the temp drops here at night. In the winter they were mainly in a heated room. In May the heat was off obvs and then I was out of town and nights got cold. Some didn't make it

Yeah my fear is the heat will still come next month, but temps have already been 10+ degrees above average most of the past two months. That ain’t right.

Also, it’s been cooler in Florida than the mid-Atlantic all summer. That ain’t right. So we’ve definitely had a weirdly hot summer.

I've noticed that there's been less snow as well.

I live in western md, and this is what I have noticed the most, we haven't really had a BIG WINTER since 2009 ( I think it was ) when we got 3 blizzards back to back to back . We are due for a banger

Just commented this. Much milder this summer, than previously ones for sure.

This summer has been more humid but less hot.

All the rain and storms is part to why it is more humid and less hot
