    • Fantastic graph Jeff, it really shows how much temperatures have picked up in the last two decades. I wonder how much is due to global warming, how much is due to land use changes, and how much is simply natural variability. Regardless, 31 is craziness! We almost hit 90 yesterday too!

      • Thx Charlie! I wonder about the cause of increase also. Hoping that the 90-degree days have ended for this year, though we could get close on Wednesday. I’ve certainly been loving the cooler, smoke-free air recently! Hood, today, was very detailed.
