Yes that's it, it's always wise to ignore the obvious. (I'm not gaining weight, my pants must be shrinking)

It's climate change.

In NE Pa. we cant get a day without rain and a temp in the 80s. Worst summer ever. Golf courses are always cart path only so if you have a bad knee you miss a lot of playing.

I agree with you. Actually just spoke to my neighbors yesterday about this being the hottest summer since we moved here six years ago. I think for me the problem has been that there has not been a break. No comfortable days between the really hot ones. Just day after day of "excessive heat warnings". I don't remember that being the case in previous summers.

I've been in the Villages for 21 summers and this is by far the worst. About 10-12 or so years ago we had a summer with over 60 straight days of 90 or above but not mid to upper 90's. Soon to cool off we hope.

It may be just me and my aging, sensitivity to heat. And/or our Villages summer weather this year is incrementally worse.

Your opinion, and please—- no Climate Change stuff. Enough already on that topic.

No worse than other years!

We may try to sit on our deck in the afternoon with coffee and a snack, and within minutes we are not alone, to the point we give up and go back inside. I tried to do some work in our back yard and I end up being chased out by the bees if I get too close to any kind of a flower. Had one yesterday chased me up our deck and into the house, buzzing around my head.
I don't like bees! Maybe they can tell...........

Same issue with bees buzzing around like crazy in central Ohio. Had to remove the hummingbird feeders to reduce the bees on patio and got stung in the process. Ouch!!

It IS obvious——it’s WEATHER, climate change takes thousands of years

In fact, I thought it was cooler in the evening this year than last summer! Perhaps I am getting used to it.

you are getting used to it, as am i. our 1st summer was a challenge, by the 2nd i knew what to expect. this wknd i was @ an outdoor concert in Tampa, (Rob Zombie & Alice Cooper 😜) & the heat didn't bother me nearly as much as in the past.

I think she is probably being bothered by hornets. Bees do not bother people, but right now the hornets are looking to hibernate for the winter and they are very aggressive.
