There is a similar story to tell in the Mountain West, a region that has been enduring a heat wave in recent days. Summers today have come to resemble summers of the past in hotter places:pic.twitter.com/EtBg95LEwH

San Antonio, Texas has yet to hit 100 degrees for the year which is very strange. Through Thursday the high will only be in the 80s and 9 days after that the very low 90s.

Cities have a ridiculous amount of concrete, and I’m sure they have more now than they did in 1970. -
Honest question: why would that matter?
