They have the lowest official reading outside of the eastern Suffolk stations at 83 degrees haha
-
Upper 80s by me as well
-
The temperature scheme is about 20 degrees off
-
Wow that is very informative comprehensive response
-
Miami's average high was probably already mid to upper 80s so a couple degrees increase in averages puts their number of 90+ degree days way higher. They probably had a ton of days maxxing out at 88 or 89 and now they have all those days maxxing out at 90 or 91 instead.

The only Onceler I know is from The Lorax lol

It depends on the bug. Lanterflies have been found to not do the damage they were feared to cause. Thank goodness. The Asian Longhorned Beetle was bad though. It would kill the tree. But because it's easy to spot and doesn't move as swiftly they actually did a good job of keeping it under control.
-
If the damage is too far gone there's nothing you can do. A couple years ago the city came around and put a green dot on all the Ash trees and then injected insecticide. What's annoying is that these little beasts move fast to damage a tree. They did this last year too. I think you can only slow/possibly halt the damage if you consistently inject insecticide but otherwise you can't do anything else.

Also lots of Sweet Gums in my area

Seriously though I'm a huge tree lover and all this crap we've had to deal with is very depressing. I've mentioned before I had to cut down a huge 60 year old Ash 3 years ago from my backyard that made great shade and amazing fall color because of the Emerald Ash Borer Literally all of it is a product of globalization correct? I think all the pests/diseases are all imports?
-
And yet we have more trees today than 100 years ago in the eastern US lol I guess they're all just a variety of oak and maple haha
-
The trends are the problem. Before the last three years I can recall only one time having smoke come into our area, back in 2002.

It's the third world, they typically have zero regard for the environment or the biodiversity that is destroyed by their actions. Caring for the environment is a first world issue. There is more value in the Amazon per square mile in terms of biodiversity than any other place on Earth.

We just have to deal with it, there is not solution. Usually I would say go after the arsonists hard since humans cause the vast majority of wildfires, but in the case of remote Canada this is not the case.
-
I suffer from back problems. I've been thinking of removing my spine so that I don't have to deal with the pain any longer.

Family friends used to have a boxer growing up, when I was like 10 I would fight with him as he was pulling on a pig skin and I was pulling on the other end, if he really wanted to he could drag me across the floor lol Boxers are literally a pile of muscle
-
Was 1966 a very dry year? I think a bunch of those years around then were very dry and that probably helped the heat too.

Models have Father's Day ruined.
-
Looks like area wide 100s if you strip away the numbers
-
Won't someone think of the mud!
-
That last graph by @bluewaveis the ugliest chart I've ever seen.
-
It was 2021 or 2022 or something like that
-
A few years ago during summer the entire south shore was extremely parched
-
It smells like the sea
-
I don't recall any forecasts saying temps would stay this low during the day.
