Summer in the U.S. could be eight degrees hotter in 2100

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Cities across the U.S. could be an average of eight degrees hotter by 2100. In about 78 years, 247 U.S. cities could feel like an entire part of the country – or world – found researchers at Climate Central, a nonprofit that researches climate change.

The independent group of scientists and communicators analyzed the changing climate and how it will affect people's lives. They found 16 U.S. cities could see summer temperatures equivalent to the Middle East by 2100. Other cities could see temperatures that reflect locations 437 miles to their south.

Chicago is projected to warm by 9.1 degrees Fahrenheit, feeling more like Montgomery, Alabama.

New York is projected to warm by 7.6 degrees, with summers expected to feel more like Columbia, South Carolina.

2. With warmer air able to hold more moisture,

and higher humidity narrows the difference between the lows and highs, if those increases hold, more US cities could feel like a rain forest. What disturbs me is how more humidity doesn't translate into less drought, especially in the west.

We've gotten plenty of rain here in North Alabama, and the next two weeks look cooler and wetter than July has been. The cooler and wetter pattern is similar to what the last several summers have held for us here. I'm not complaining, unless I can't get a couple of dry days to mow yards I take care of.
