The dishonest LIBS are trying to convince you global warming is real by leaving ALASKA off the map. ALASKA is still cold, therefore climate change not real. Checkmate, atheists. ^/s in case it's not obvious^

Great Lakes cooling is real apparently.

So what’s California without Death Valley?

I’m curious where Hawaii sits. Does the ocean breeze help keep it cool or no?

this doesn't factor in the "feels like" temp. Florida is a LOTTT worse than other places because it's very swampy and humid which makes your body unable to sweat to cool itself down.

I visited new Orleans for like a week a few years ago and was like "damn you bitches just get to live like this?? you can actually go outside?!" even though it was like 90°+

51 degrees science in that one over there in the west?! That’s too damn hot

Illinois has hit 100 a couple times. I was there in July and it was 101 on multiple days in July.

idk about 2025, but +100°F in Alaska is a thing

Texas is a bit surprising.

Do it again with record lows and the map will invert.

The Alcan — the Alaska Highway — is the world’s longest franchise ghetto, a one-dimensional city two thousand miles long and a hundred feet wide, and growing at the rate of a hundred miles a year, or as quickly as people can drive up to the edge of the wilderness and park their bagos in the next available slot. It is the only way out for people who want to leave America but don’t have access to an airplane or a ship. It’s all two-lane, paved but not well paved, and choked with mobile homes, family vans, pickup trucks with camper backs. It starts somewhere in the middle of British Columbia, at the crossroads of Prince George, where a number of tributaries feed in together to make a single northbound highway. South of there, the tributaries split into a delta of feeder roads that crosses the Canadian/American border at a dozen or more places spread out over five hundred miles from the fjords of British Columbia to the vast striped wheatlands of central Montana. Then it ties into the American road system, which serves as the headwaters of the migration. This five-hundredmile swath of territory is filled with would-be arctic explorers in great wheeled houses, optimistically northbound, and more than a few rejects who have abandoned their bagos in the north country and hitched a ride back down south. The lumbering bagos and top-heavy fourwheelers form a moving slalom course for Hiro on his black motorcycle. All these beefy Caucasians with guns! Get enough of them together, looking for the America they always believed they’d grow up in, and they glom together like overcooked rice, form integral, starchy little units. With their power tools, portable generators, weapons, four-wheeldrive vehicles, and personal computers, they are like beavers hyped up on crystal meth, manic engineers without a blueprint, chewing through the wilderness, building things and abandoning them, altering the flow of mighty rivers and then moving on because the place ain’t what it used to be. The byproduct of the lifestyle is polluted rivers, greenhouse effect, spouse abuse, televangelists, and serial killers. But as long as you have that four-wheel-drive vehicle and can keep driving north, you can sustain it, keep moving just quickly enough to stay one step ahead of your own waste stream. In twenty years, ten million white people will converge on the north pole and park their bagos there. The low-grade waste heat of their thermodynamically intense lifestyle will turn the crystalline icescape pliable and treacherous. It will a hole through the polar icecap, all that metal will sink to the bottom, sucking the biomass down with it. For a fee, you can drive into Snooze ‘n’ Cruise franchise umbilical your bago. The magic words are “We Have Pull-Thrus,” which means you can enter franchise, hook up, sleep, unhook, and drive out without ever having shift your land zeppelin into reverse. They used to claim it was campground, tried to design franchise with a rustic motif, but customers kept chopping up those log-and-plank signs and wooden picnic tables and using them cooking fires. Nowadays, the signs are electric polycarbonate bubbles, the corporate identity is all round and polished and smooth, in same way that a urinal is, to prevent stuff from building up in the cracks. Because it’s not really camping when you don’t have a house to go back to.

Snow Crash

It’s crazy we haven’t had any 110 days in Texas this year. It actually hasn’t felt like all that hot of a summer compared to what we usually get. I’m sure it really sucks ass for those states who aren’t used to or prepared for it.

Is there a version in standard international units?

West of the Mississippi and excluding the PNW, that looks pretty normal. Plus, you gotta account for extremes. I'm in NW Florida, that 105 was likely recorded at the very tip. California has Death valley.

How do you Yanks feel about the northeast numbers?

Sauce?
