Yeah September used to be some of the worst of it. You'd think it would be earlier than that, but that's when the low temps would hit 80° and just stick there for the entire month. Never a chance for anything to cool down and the heat would just build.

This year and last year we hit that in July instead. I was always looking at the upper heat number to be the climate impacted one... But it's the low that's really hitting here. Typically the ocean/everglades are our cooling mechanisms and we'll get capped off at around 93° (heat index of 105-108) but 2 years ago we finally got our own heat wave and hit 95-97 for 6 weeks straight. When historically we wouldn't see more than ~6 days at those temps. And the heat index on those would be 108-115. Stupid warming oceans.

Typically, elsewhere will be a worse literal-temperature heat wave than what we get here. But when you're moving back onto cooler temps we're still going. Not fair when we also get the heat wave as well! 🤣

And man, the roofers doing my roof last year. A month short of 1 year ago. I wanted to get it done pre-summer but they took so long. Luckily I've got trees for shade over the roof too, but still. And bought them bananas, watermelon, and other fruit and such every day for the crew. Keep those electrolytes up. And keep them giving a shit about the quality of my roof when they're already overheated after a half day of work. They're as acclimated as they can be to those temperatures, but even so it's a beast and a half
