Heat Dome - June 2024

[MC74]

One more day of this dreadful heat apparently, then it's supposed to cool down. It fucking better, this is sickening.

Ah fuck yeah, bud. After a week plus of 90+ save for a comfortable Friday, we're finally going back to normal temperatures. Even after the T-Storms forecasted next Monday the temps look goooood.

So much for the fuckin’ heat.

The Cleveland, OH region got hit with tornadoes and some 400k homes were left without power. It took until today for Ohio's governor to declare a state of emergency. The people in the r/Cleveland subreddit complained all week about the lack of action and made up all sorts of claims that his lack of action was politically based (DeWine is Rep, Cleveland is Dem).

What actually realistic explanations would explain why DeWine took almost a week to declare a SOE? What kind of red tape bullshit was he dealing with?

I'd like to report that unless you're up in some mountains in Northwestern Montana, you will see no snow in the 48 states for the next two days.

Air conditioning /hvac can't keep up, it's like 76 in the house, ugh

The UK has seen its coolest summer for nine years, though it has been a season of contrasts across the country.

I'd have liked a taste of this heat dome...

(barely above freezing here on Thursday night)

We actually had a few days of fall like weather. It's going to be in the 90s on Wednesday but only for a short bit. Fall weather comes back for the weekend (though it's mostly rain).
