Isn't this something we all expect every year in July and August nationwide?

I don't like to hear about the heat related fires that is taking place out west, but I need to say.

We Floridians experience 90+ degree days for months on end and we don't make the news....

Maybe people just have to use a little common sense in the heat.
We have homes prepared for the heat..AC. Many places ..Spain, England, and some northern states are seeing record heat. They often don't have AC or at least AC designed for current temperatures. Don't look at just daily or short-term temperatures, look at annual averages.

Just a few degrees increase in our high temperatures, plus the humidity and we are in serious heat stress conditions. Something to think about. Florida weather stations say we are trending upward already. Time to AC the golf cart.
