August 25, 20232 yr Judges would have also accepted Tuco Salamanca snorting fresh cut meth off a bowie knife by the kilogram or Tony Montana with the comical pile of blow in 'Scarfare'...but pos rep.

They delayed kickoff of our HS game last night to 7:30. It was still balls hot, but it did make a difference as sun was mostly behind stadium wall by that point.
August 25, 20232 yr I like how the 6-10 day is just a giant scorching heat penis giving us a firefuck right up the middle of the country.

I'd watch that movie, but my VPN hasn't arrived yet. Somebody please regale us again with the "Good news Texans, Just 6 more days until the start of meteorological Fall." My daughter's science teacher told them something like that yesterday.

August 25, 20232 yr I keep hearing about these pattern changes in September but all I see rage. Or are we talking pattern kind of like you're not supposed to wear white after Labor Day? This is a fashion thing right?

August 25, 20232 yr For point of reference, in 2011 the last 100 degree day didn’t come until September 29th.
August 25, 20232 yr I know my car thermometer isn’t calibrated to be the outside temperature, but it does give me a consistent number to compare other days too. During this wave it usually 106-108 when I get in the car and cools down to 98-103 while I’m driving. Well yesterday it was 117 when I got in and only cooled off to 107. My 7-10 day out look shows mid 90s for the highs and lows that start with a 7. Fall is here!

You're not looking at the law of moving numbers here, man. With so many summers in the last 25 years looking more and more like this, the average high goes up a full degree every 5 days this time of year. So we're actually narrowing the gap. That's good news if you look at it mathematically. If you recall the "battle tactics" scene in "The Hunt for Red October", by quickly closing the distance between the ship and the torpedo, Capt. Rameus reduced the time for the weapon to arm itself. By heating ourselves, we are closing the range between our current highs and the annual average temps for this date. Pretty genius, or certainly a "You arrogant ass, you've killed us" situation.

August 25, 20232 yr How the fuck does nature make a straight line? There are no straight lines in nature. Yet the daily highs are a straight line since early July. The daily lows and the total rainfall are a straight line since early June. This isn't nature. This is a climate controlled house set to "on fire."

A stretch from Toulouse to Lyon, at/around 107-108 degrees. Those dark maroon ovals in/around Central France, it's 40-42, nearly 108 degrees. That's France. There are no 42's anywhere in Spain. So you don't know how to convert Celsius or how to read a map, you must be great on camping trips. I'm looking right at two spots of 42 in Central France. How the fuck are you two not seeing this?

August 25, 20232 yr Okay, Central France. But still France. You said I was referring to Spain, not the country of France. I am not, I am referring to the 42 degree zone in Central France, literally hundreds of kilometers where you two cartographers think Spain is for some reason. Find Malloraca and Minorca. Go straight up from there to a 42* zone with a 37 to its immediate East. That's France as I've said a half dozen times. I am not mistaking Central France for Spain. It's about Mountaban, France at 108 degrees and about 400-500 kilometers where your Spain bubble is. The 42 to which I refer again is in France, not Spain.

Not sure grapes are gonna love the heat.
August 26, 20232 yr Good point. I didn't even think about the Hill country winemakers during all this shit. The Tempranillos were finally getting good after some years of vine acclimating. But I'm sure the grapes are thinking, "We're good hot weather grapes, but you can't grow shit on the sun assholes!" I'm guessing for the rest of this decade, you'll be able to get a really good deal on any Texas wine (or most winemaking regions in the Northern Hemisphere for that matter) from 2023. And invariably when your guests ask to just switch to Mad Dog 20/20, we'll look back on these maps and weep. Edited August 26, 20232 yr by YGIFS
