No rain just heat heat heat. Sometimes I feel like Texas has shades of a Mediterranean climate. All the grass is brown, lake levels are down, but so are allergies and insects...
The infinite loop paused for a moment yesterday (3 September) with a brief morning rain shower before the sun and heat returned.
An end is finally in sight a few days from now, with temperatures dropping into the 80s or even 70s (Fahrenheit). Despite this, any substantial precipitation still remains out of the question.
Recent event notes:
On Sunday (1 September) the September record high for my location was tied, 100F. The previous reading was 100F on 8 September 1979.
In addition, the 1st and 2nd each recorded daily record highs, of 100F and 98F respectively.
August notes:
Average max: 93.3F
Average min: 67.4F
Precipitation: 0.49", all on two days (8th and 9th)
Other notes:
August's average temperature was 80.3F. This makes it the sixth hottest August on record. Ten of the top 11 hottest Augusts on record have been since 2000. The one earlier record is from 1994.
Only two Augusts since the heat of 1994 have been below average. (2004, 2014).
18 of the past 20 months have been above average.
Salt Lake City is currently the fastest-warming city in North America, and has been for most of the 2010s decade. The city's top six warmest years on record are currently, in order, 2012, 2016, 2015, 2018, 2017, 2014.

Just goes to show the planet is heating faster and faster.
No, actually it doesn't.
There are reports of above average and there are reports of below average temps. There is record heat and record cool. You can't pick and choose which supports your logic of super fast heating.

High latitude areas are statistically warming at a much faster rate than most other areas of the world.
Well i am talking about my planet where i live. But on avg most of the globe is seeing a warm up.
Yes, the globe is warming, but it's warming on average. Just because SLC is warming at a certain rate doesn't mean the rest of the world is too. Places are warming at wildly different rates. Salt Lake City happens to be the fastest-warming in the US. There are other hotspots too, like El Paso and Las Vegas. There are also areas across the globe that seem to be holding steady or possibly even cooling (areas of eastern North America, the North Atlantic, Australia, the southern tip of South America, etc), but the warming areas (which is most areas) are warming enough to cancel them out.
Warming is not uniform across the planet. To believe it is is absurd, almost cartoonish.
In fact, the use of the term "climate change" began because "global warming" connotes a universal increase of (insert number of degrees here) across every point on the globe, with no other changes, which is simply incorrect.
