Florida is such a boring state.
Things are finally starting to cool of here in NE. Expecting thunder storms and rain tonight. Ty for your concerns. Peace.
They don't irrigate in Iowa, especially when it is raining all the time.
It's yes and no! Lmao - I'm a weather man and I don't know why the dew point is high I in Midwest? I guess I'm a meterologist also because I don't know either.
Could it have anything to do with tropical storm Barry recently coming through the area?
I bet she forgets the popsicles.☹️
On the bright side,many EBT'ers will no longer be burdening the hard working taxpayer.
Alaska for the win!
Where it's winter... record cold... where it's summer...heat wave...but you only hear about the HEAT... this is not the change you were looking for. Do your own research... even NASA and NOAA will admit that the AVERAGE temp is down 3 years in a row!
Big deal.
Wasnt there the polar vortex in the winter in the same area as this heat dome?
*Climate Change*

'Climate Change is a Chinese Hoax'

Sad.
There/s lots of water in and on the ground from the flooding. If there’s lots of sunshine then there will be more moisture in the air
Well its good to know climate change wasn't created by humans
we’re having a cold wave here in Vegas-it’s down to 100 degrees
Togo Burrows: You mean a "cold spell".
Snow soon 🙃
Greetings from Vegas to the rest of the country... ya buncha heat-puzzy'z lol!
Oh I agree, grew up in Michigan and know all about humidity and dew points (even worse in the south east) which is the real determining factor over humidity. Currently ours is about 30 but going to climb to about 60 the next few days due to some slight precipitation. Here and in Phoenix, anything up to 105 - 110 is actually ok and the nights are epic, but the same thing in Florida, and with the 90% humidity/dew points... no f'n way lol! Stay cool bro!
Yeah you could say that, but the humidity is what is rough on people in that region. Last time I looked Chicago had a dewpoint of 76 degrees, while I believe yours is 30 degrees.
Lol
Floridians get this for 9 months a year.. y'all can deal with it for a month. wimps!
@GDN BPSK BDK 4CHK LKK 😭🤣
Nobody likes florida
Could the high dew point have anything to do with all the rainfall and flooding. Maybe the evaporation.
That's what I was thinking.
people in George Washington's day didn't have ac wow. and no climate change people change people around equator get hot weather all the time.
It might be that Canada is full of snow n other northern states
It is much hotter and humid in North Georgia than Miami Beach in the summer
@Scott Sloop You need to research "dew point". 100% humidity at a lower temperature is a lower volume of moisture content. A warmer air mass can contain more moisture than a cooler air mass. Percent of humidity is not accurate, which is why dew point is used.
Again with the silliness...100% humidity is as high as it goes
It's like the climate is changing and it's getting warmer. We should look into this
Ronnie Baker , calls people morons, yet cites Wikipedia for empirical data on the matter??
Where did you morons get your degrees? Read or get someone to read this for you. Global warming is a result of climate change caused by emessions en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming
It's called CLIMATE CHANGE... not global warming... for a reason. This is all on the schedule... given in 1979... based on 100,000 years of ice cores... WINTER IS COMING !
@Ronnie Baker he's right... not a theory!
Ronnie Baker 😂😂😂
Oh...disclaimer that lazer temp sensors only allowed on Highly spotted red light towers. :| They use red dot avoidance flight path, right.? Rigging that will not fail? to check NASA's. Need to save due to degree of extreme disruption of streams flows!
2:35 Majority of farmers do not use sprinkler irrigation in the midwest. We typically rely on rain...
@Scott Sloop A little too early too. Many farmers didn't have their fields planted and the wet ground delayed planting.
And last
Got a little too much this year
Watch out for heatstroke. Take care.
Forsure same to ya
One up vote with no views? Very interesting!
@absentmindedprof e
Ooooh...so smug...of course to really impress upon us your intelligence, you should explain why (a few reasons actually)
@Junfa 12 Enlighten me, please.👍
Do the research and you will see why this happens. When you comment without researching it makes you appear uneducated.
