August 27, 201511 yr It could happen for only the 4th time in recorded history for NKY/Cincinnati if the highs predicted for the next 4 days are accurate.
August 27, 201511 yr Been cool in WKY for this time of the year. They are calling for 90s this weekend for us.
August 27, 201511 yr If there was ever a time to make a trip to lovely Ellis Park, this is it. It's usually horribly sweltering there during the summer meet.
August 27, 201511 yr I blame it on global warming. This year is on track to be the hottest ever for planet Earth.
August 27, 201511 yr I blame it on global warming. You have it wrong! It's now called "climate change", not global warming...keep up. By calling it climate change, no matter what happens with the weather, people can talk about it and make a lot of money off of it (ie: Al Gore)...
August 27, 201511 yr VOR -- can you provide us some link or more info on your statement. Global Analysis - July 2015 | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for June 2015 was the highest for June in the 136-year period of record, at 0.88°C (1.58°F) above the 20th century average of 15.5°C (59.9°F), surpassing the previous record set just one year ago by 0.12°C (0.22°F). This was also the fourth highest monthly departure from average for any month on record. The two highest monthly departures from average occurred earlier this year in February and March, both at 0.90°C (1.62°F) above the 20th century average for their respective months, while January 2007 had the third highest, at 0.89°C (1.60°F) above its monthly average. June 2015 also marks the fourth month this year that has broken its monthly temperature record, along with February, March, and May. The other months of 2015 were not far behind: January was second warmest for its respective month and April was third warmest. These six warm months combined with the previous six months (four of which were also record warm) to make the period July 2014–June 2015 the warmest 12-month period in the 136-year period of record, surpassing the previous record set just last month (June 2014–May 2015). As shown in the table below, the 10 warmest 12-month periods have all been marked in the past 10 months. The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for July 2015 was the highest for July in the 136-year period of record, at 0.81°C (1.46°F) above the 20th century average of 15.8°C (60.4°F), surpassing the previous record set in 1998 by 0.08°C (0.14°F). As July is climatologically the warmest month of the year globally, this monthly global temperature of 16.61°C (61.86°F) was also the highest among all 1627 months in the record that began in January 1880. The July temperature is currently increasing at an average rate of 0.65°C (1.17°F) per century.
August 28, 201511 yr Author If we could vote to have the temperature raised 5 degrees every day of the year I would vote for it. Sure it would make those 93 degree days 98 degrees but small price to pay for turning a 36 degree day into a 41 degree day.
