For 2012 to date, 23,613 maximum temperature records have been set.

For July -- i.e., July 1st through July 5th -- there has been 942 records broken and 273 that were tied. For 2012 to date, 23,613 maximum temperature records have been set. Over the same period in 2011, only 13,582 maximum temperature records were broken. That is an increase of 71% over last year, which was more than hot enough as I recall.

here in Seattle. Global climate change is going to kill us all from colds before it has a chance to kill us via starvation.
