    All I would say is that if a relatively normal, or some would say cool, July today results in mean temperatures similar to 1988 - which was front page, headline news everywhere for its heat and drought - what is going to happen when the conditions that created the drought and heat wave of that year recur in this new era? Makes me wonder if we aren't destined for some absolutely shocking summertime heat waves in the near future.

    that the beauty of being mortal  a few of us wont be around when it will be unliveable...

    They've also bumped the normal temperatures up so much in the most recent release that it makes comparisons difficult. Look at Toledo, Ohio, it shows up as normal on the map; but if the month ended today, it would be the 24th warmest [out of 151 years] -- decidedly warmer than the long-term average. Prior to 2010, it would have been the 18th warmest [out of 138 years], as six of the warmer Julys have occurred in the 13 year period from 2010 to 2022.

    You take this same "normal" month and place it in the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s and it would suddenly be considered a hot July.

    you can say that about temps in the 1870's the 1970's would be considered hot...
