We here in New Hampshire and Massachusetts are getting absolutely "no joke" heat advisories lately, but we can expect things to change pretty quickly.

I'm not sure that I have ever reported on temperatures reaching over 100 degrees, but that's currently what's happening.

According to the National Weather Service, the sun is merciless Tuesday and Wednesday this week, with temps in the 90's.

NOAA Reports 2nd Warmest Month in the World on Record

NOAA has been keeping track of the Earth's temperature since 1850.  May, 2025 was the second warmest month on record.

The only month that was warmer was only in May of 2024. If we didn't have all that rain in May, 2025 may have been the warmest on record, but no - Mother Nature didn't want us to have any Saturdays this Spring for yard-sales.

Why couldn't the warmest month be in 1890 or something?  That way, I could kid myself that things will normalize again?

Why is Climate Change Political?

I don't know how the Earth's climate became political, do you?  I have this conversation with my husband a lot.  The numbers are what they are, right?  I guess it's a question of money and that always creates some sort of dispute.

Stay safe in this heat!
