5. The USDA had to redraw the "Plant Hardiness" Map due to changes in climate since 1990

Probably due for another re-draw:

It has always been zone 5 and I see we are well into zone 4 now.

7. just talked to my daughter in Mississippi - THI is 113

sad that many won't have access to AC.

10. How can anyone survive in that kind of heat?

Just moving around is probably life threatening. How can anyone replace the water in their bodies fast enough?

8. I hate hot weather more than anything on this planet...beginning of July

with a notice that our electric company is increasing their rates starting THIS month....THIS FUCKING MONTH!! Do you know how often I keep my air running? In my bedroom alone; there are three other roommates here with AC units and I don't keep tabs on how often they run theirs.

When I come home from work, this apartment is like a fucking BLAST FURNACE

9. 105 here today. And it doesn't cool off much at night.

The local overnight low temperature for July 8th was 82 degrees. This breaks the high minimum temperature record of 79 degrees set in 1935.

11. Where are you living?

Is this worse than usual?
