MIAMI – An early-season heat wave is baking South Florida with a dangerous combination of heat and humidity through the end of the week.

The FOX Forecast Center said a front is stalled across the central part of the state, with summer-like heat continuing to build to its south. High temperatures are expected to soar into the 90s, and record-high temperatures will continue to be in jeopardy through Sunday.

It's Flori duh!   All these northern cracker transplants moving to central and south FL must not have gotten the memo before they loaded up the truck and moved to Disney.

Record temps in Florida for this time of year already. 

I live in a northern state. I cut grass on March 15 th this year. My family has owned  an office building since 1979. Back in the 80's it was common to have the parking lot snow plowed 35-40 times over the course of a winter.-ogften twice a day due to heavy snows This past winter 2 times, year before that once, and last decade or so about 5-6 times per year on average.

We are warming up.

IOW, Florida won't be the only State growing oranges and Canada will eventually become the breadbasket of North America.

What's the 'problem'?  /s

Trollz  gotz to be trollz.

So even with your silly <50 year meteorlogical sample size you are spewing this scam?  Take a few statistics classes before running your mouth off.

We had 3 citrus killing events in the past 3 yrs. here.  After not having a <18 degree day for 15 years.  I could make the same damn ridiculous  claim that the climate is cooling.

And even on a larger macro scale, we could have a spirited discussion, on why Greenland was inhabitable a 1000 years ago, and not now. 

Stuff the climate scam bull shit.

Yep.  It's hot out.  Hotter than normal for this time of year compared to the past several years. Likely, it's going to be a very hot summer with tropical storms. Tropical storms are the norm.  Possibly a few hurricanes. 

However, Florida has weather warmer than most states and weather is cyclical.

As the ole saying goes, if you can't stand the heat ... get out!!!   Way too many transplants around.

Troll has a tough time with the comprehension of the difference between weather and climate.

Note to @banddag   Hello.  Weather IS cyclical.  We go through warming trends and cooling trends. High temperatures and low temperatues; cooler and warmer than usual some years. Storms and no storms in some areas.  Tornadoes in some areas and none in others.  Hurricanes in some areas and not in others.

All this hype about climate change is a bunch of crappola.  What are you going to do next year if the temps are cooler than normal???

[catfish1957]

What's the 'problem'?  /s

IN our parts...   SE Texas, SW Louisiana, almost all the 20 foot citrus, (oranges, satsumas, etc.) were lost to a couple of recent freezes.  That after these things were thriving for close to 20 years.

I don't mind left wing trolls as a rule, but when they start spewing the scam, I have to act.

[banddag]

Georgia lost 90% of their peach crop last year due to warming issues. Earlier than normal warming so trees budded out then normal freeze happened and killed all the buds. Other issues but I believe this was the major cause.

Texas is becoming a parched state. Texas ranchers are buying semi truck full loads of hay from  my area.

As you said the  northern US states will become the new breadbasket.

Well considering the current leadership of Canuckistan I would be concerned with history repeating what happened with a certain other breadbasket, the Breadbasket of Europe. Communists gotta do what communists do.

Stuff the climate scam bull shit.

I get it . You worked in the fossil fuel industry. That is where you made your wealth and your pension plan. You are biased.

This anti climate change/man is not involved crap will come back to bite Republicans down the road.

My BIL was a 3 star general. He saw the military classified info that climate change was going to be the cause of nearly all future wars.  If the US military believes it I believe. it. Fighting over water, arable land etc. India and China's skirmish a few years ago was based upon water as China was siphoning off the mountain water that India needed.

It will also lead to mass migration as people leave parched areas.

This anti climate/anti ev/anti renewables is truly the most childish stance ever  made.

Your naievity is breath taking.  You claim to be open and well read, but it seems you are missing the increasing evidence that this climate scam is based on left wing induced biased, 3rd world wealth redistribution, and a host and rallying flag for a mutltiude of socialist activist causes.

And to the fact, what would your BIL (so called general) would think if he heard or knew your were sharing classified info on an internet site?  Not only are you a troll, you are left leaning disruptor, who is coming to conservative web sites as a faux moderate.  No one here is buying your snake oil.

Childish stance?  Do you have any idea how much this scam is going to cost America?  Your silly contention that this is an emergency is garbage.  So unless you can control sunspots, El-Nina, El-Nino, and other natural factors, your are help ruining the U.S. economy, and might just take us back technologically to the 1800's.  Do you think 350M Americans can surivie with 1800's tech?

My advise to you, is to date Greta T.  I think she is legal now .Or buy some seaside property next to Obama. This doesn't seem to be impacting their real estate buying habits.

Oh here we go:

1. Conspiracy theory nonsense.

2. That classified info he read was from 20 years ago. It has been published all over the net since then.

3. Like coal?   

China is rapidly moving into renewable energy-more than all countries in the world combined.. Yes they are building coal plants left and right but many are not used rm use very little. Due to past droughts they lost their huge source of  hydro power They know they have a serious pollution problem.
Coal is also very expensive to China because of shipping from US and Australia. They also do not want to be dependent on us when war comes between our countries.

[catfish1957]

Oh here we go:

1. Conspiracy theory nonsense.

Bullshit.  Evidence amounts daily of the masking of this scam.  Don't you find it strange that the WEF, entire left wing, Antifa, BLM, and other left wing activist are the ones especially pusing this agenda.  As far as I am concerned, you are in that boat too.

2. That classified info he read was from 20 years ago. It has been published all over the net since then.

Hint Hint....   Wars and battles have taken place for milleniums over resouces, including and especially towards water access.   BTW, I find it strange you included a fairly recent Sino-India skirmish to support a 20 year old "intelligence report".  Just how many 20 year old intelligence reports are valid, or remain pertinent. 

What a tool.

Why is China rapidly moving towards renewables in huge numbers?  No blacks in China, No WEF, No Antifa and certainty no left wing groups.

So ... are you back to promoting solar??     #1 - solar isn't feasible in some areas.   #2 - many homes with solar panels are not insurable  #3 - the theory that the electric companies will pay you back is crappola.  We don't have solar, yet we received a bill for a -$67 on our bill.  We had a credit instead of a charge this month; our electric company is a co-op.  #4 solar is very expensive, especially if you try to have your home completely reliant on solar.

I don't care about China.  I care about affordable energy for the U.S., and energy independence.

1. Well China sure does believe in Solar.

2. I am also a member of a coop for power and have been getting the credit 2014. Has nothing to do with solar. Several reasons. They charged you more than they anticipated/needed and you get the money back as a credit. When I signed up in our co-op in 1994 they said I would get my first credit back in 20 years

Solar prices are dropping in this country every year and the  systems improve very year

My sarcasm tag was simply because humans need to adapt.  This rock has had hot/cold periods.  Humans have repeatedly pushed back into "stone ages" due to extinction events.

It's probably why subterranean bipedal species are hundreds of thousands of years are more advanced than surface species.   

Equatorial climates are obviously expanding, while the polar regions remain somewhat stable.   

The current land mass called the United States will be the prime exporter of dates and figs.

Thank you.

I am pretty much outa here anyway. Too much of masturbatory circle jerk echo chamber. Even when presented with facts that contradicts their narrow misinformed view (in many cases  not all)  it's your a Troll lol

What is scary that even when presented with facts they refuse to believe any different or they put me on ignore. I have admitted here numerous times I was wrong when presented with research.

This is why I have become an independent.

See YA

No problem...

Admit that I posted my reply BEFORE reading all the replies...just that right out of the gate, you were called a "troll".

Don't leave.  They're just a protected class here at TBR.

Even the owner felt the need to warn @sneakypete to stop the insults...yet the reason he went into lurk mode is because the same half-dozen pets in here are given free passes.

We're expected to STFU and turn the other cheek...and like you, I'm getting sick of it.

It's natural to think your region's abnormal weather patterns indicate a national  trend.

Here in Maryland, we haven't seen the sun in almost 2 weeks.  Overnight temps as low as the mid 40s...highs in the 50's and low 60's if we're lucky.

If China is so big on renewable why oh why have they been building so many coal fired power plants and have huge graveyards of brand new EV's? Seems to me that the only place China is pushing renewables is on the gullible west, specifically America, to suck out it's cash and weaken it.

Hey let me throw out an irrelevant(to reality) climate observation, here in SoCal we had a very mild summer last year and a very mild spring(4 to 5 deg below average) so everybody better start buying lots of warm clothes and hording food because the new ice age is here!!  What is extremely laughable is that man, short of nuclear winter can truly affect the Earths climate. Consider the number of volcanoes actively spewing forth carbon dioxide and ashes into the atmosphere just this year and tell me that man has at any time had an effect anywhere near that. Globull Warming/Climate Change is simply a cash cow for some and through fear mongering a way to control a gullible or ignorant populace.

You can't have a discussion with a true believer, I tried that with my nephew who got a Masters in mechanical engineering at Berkley, but he'd seen the numbers don't you know and why would anyone fake data?
