And everyone is already +2 to +4 MTD. People have forgotten what a normal month feels like. CON’s record for tomorrow is 34° in 1982. That doesn’t even seem possible today.

Who's everyone? Hartford?

They kept asking where’s the torch and we’ve been telling them everyday. It’s been here all month everywhere  and continues to ramp up !

There is no torch. Torches are hot. Require air conditioning.

Most folks have had AC on almost all month . Look up a site .. any airport you choose MTD. Tooorrchh! You lose .. again !

yeah, I've needed AC - but only in the car  

house hasn't needed it; windows and fans at night, had a fleece vest on this morning (62/61F at 6:30 am) wheeling the cans to the curb for Friday pickup  

currently 76/65F IMBY

-2 to 4 last winter was epic cold, but +2 to 4 in summer is nbd. I’ll agree…there hasn’t been any big heat, but it goes to show you where our baseline is right now.

Well said. No arguing the baseline.

Same, I’ll use AC in the car but at home just fans and open windows for the most part.
