May Used To Be Much Hotter In The US
On May 7, 1934 temperatures were over 100
degrees in Nebraska and Iowa. Algona, Iowa was 101 degrees, 27 degrees
warmer than today’s forecast.
Prior to fifty years ago, 90 degree days
were common on May 7 – with the five hottest years being 1934, 1916,
1952, 1962 and 1954. Since 1962, there hasn’t been a May 7 with more
than 10% of the US over 90 degrees. The last two years (NASA’s hottest
years ever) had less than 2% of stations over 90F. 2005 and 2013 were
the two coolest May 7th’s on record.
For the entire month of May – 1934, 1911
and 1962 stand out as the three hottest years. The least hot May was in
2015, with 2016 close behind (NASA’s two hottest years ever.)
During May, 1934 more than two thirds of the US was in drought.
This year about 10% of the US is in drought, near or at a record low.
Climate experts says that global
warming causes Spring heatwaves, but as with everything else in climate
science – they are claiming the exact opposite of what the data shows.
