Minneapolis, MN. Hot AF!

[CrackityJones75]

Ok I know that we get occasionally weird weather but this week of mid to high 90’s in the first week or two of June feels off. Late July or August? Sure that happens but early June?

And I also know that isolated weather incidents are not indicative of climate change but maybe if we can let people know that this is what it could be like a hell of a lot more often and worse if we don’t do something soon, maybe then people wipp start to listen. Probably not though.

One thing I do know though. The earth will correct itself one way or another and wiping us off the face of the planet is not an unrealistic option for mother earth. I do think things like covid and other happenings are ways that nature deals with over population so I wouldn’t be surprised to see more things like that and other natural disasters start to kill off humans. Including excessive heat.

1. One thing that is way off

The nighttime temperatures have been above 70 degrees. So things are not cooling off at night like they normally would. On fact, we have been setting records for the highest daily low for the past 3 days (as of yesterday).

4. yeah it is nuts.

There is very little relief at night as well.

Going up to at least 97 again today

2. Dry as hell too

I'm on a well, so I can water my gardens more, but damn.

I built a shade structure for my koi pond; the water is getting so hot that tadpoles are dying by the hundreds That's AFTER overflowing it with cool hose water every night. Next step is dumping in ice every day!

5. Oh no!

Sorry to hear about the tadpoles!

3. I concur...

the planet moves slowly, but inexorably, in response to injury. This party's just started.

Here in SW WI, it's been in the 90's much of the last week...the rest of June looks like there won't be much of a break...more into the 80's. This is July and August weather.

7. Agreed.

If we keep seeing yearly creep up like this it is scary where we are headed.

6. It has been a strange week in the Twin Cities, for sure.

[CrackityJones75]

8. Agreed MM

Stay cool man.

On days like these I try to think about late January and early February and shoveling/snowblowing.

[MineralMan]

9. I'm doing my best. Getting all outside chores done early

in the morning.
