Phoenix smashes heat streak record

[Socrates]

PHOENIX, Sept 23 The desert city of Phoenix, Arizona, suffered a record
113 straight days with temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38
degrees Celsius) this year, leading to hundreds of heat-related deaths
and more acres burned by wildfire across the state, officials said.

The city of 1.6 million residents, the largest in the Sonoran desert,
had its hottest-ever summer, breaking the previous 2023 record by nearly
two degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The 113-day streak reached last week smashed Phoenix's previous record
of 76 days over 100 F set in 1993.

"It's very rare that we see, especially...two record breaking summers
like we just experienced," said Matt Salerno, meteorologist at the
National Weather Service Phoenix office.

Heat has killed 256 people so far this year in Phoenix's Maricopa County
and is the suspected cause of 393 other deaths, according to official
data. The county had a record 645 heat deaths last year.

DESERT!!!!!"

That's right. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Those
in favor of massive government spending to remodel the kitchen are full
of shit.

“Weighing benefits against costs is the way most people make decisions —
and the way most businesses make decisions, if they want to stay in
business. Only in government is any benefit, however small, considered
to be worth any cost, however large.”

― Thomas Sowell
