Not exactly correct: The solar maximum cycle is peaking now, and this is causing a slight increase in ocean temperatures. However, the current rise in ocean temperatures is not solely due to the solar maximum cycle. Other factors, such as human-caused climate change, are also contributing to the rise in ocean temperatures. The solar maximum cycle is a natural 11-year cycle of the sun's activity. During solar maximum, the sun emits more energy, which can cause a slight warming of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. However, the solar maximum cycle is not the only factor that affects ocean temperatures. Other factors, such as the amount of cloud cover, the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the strength of ocean currents, can also affect ocean temperatures. In recent decades, the Earth's atmosphere has warmed significantly due to human-caused climate change. This warming is causing the oceans to warm as well. The warming of the oceans is causing sea levels to rise, which is flooding coastal areas and displacing millions of people. The warming of the oceans is also causing more extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and typhoons. The current rise in ocean temperatures is a complex issue with multiple contributing factors. The solar maximum cycle is one factor that is contributing to the rise in ocean temperatures, but it is not the only factor. Human-caused climate change is also a major factor that is contributing to the rise in ocean temperatures. Source: AI

Posts containing false or misleading information have been removed along with replies. The National Weather Service (NWS) has specific guidelines for the placement of official temperature gauges. These guidelines are designed to ensure that the temperature readings are as accurate as possible. Here are some of the guidelines for the placement of official temperature gauges: The gauge must be placed in a shaded area. The gauge must be placed at a height of 5 feet above ground level. The gauge must be placed in an open area, free of obstructions. The gauge must be placed in a location that is representative of the surrounding area. The NWS also conducts regular checks of official temperature gauges to ensure that they are functioning properly. This helps to ensure that the temperature readings are accurate and reliable. For more information on how and where weather instruments are placed, here are some sources: National Weather Service (NWS): The NWS has specific guidelines for the placement of official temperature gauges. These guidelines are available on the NWS website. American Meteorological Society (AMS): The AMS also has guidelines for the placement of temperature gauges. These guidelines are available in the AMS publication Guidelines for Meteorological Observations. International Organization for Standardization (ISO): The ISO has developed international standards for the placement of temperature gauges. These standards are available in the ISO publication ISO 9001:2015.

No, it's not always somewhere else. It's my home. I have a house there and I spend a lot of time there. As a matter of fact, I endured ALL of the past month in Phoenix. Oh, and for Covid, my neighbor died of it and several family members. I was also here in 2020 which was the previous hottest year. It was nothing like what we are experiencing. But here's what I have witnessed: Longest streak of 110-degree days: Phoenix recorded 31 consecutive days with a high temperature of 110 degrees or higher, from June 30 to July 30. This broke the previous record of 18 consecutive days, set in 1974. Most days with a high temperature of 115 degrees or higher: Phoenix had 17 days with a high temperature of 115 degrees or higher in July 2023. This tied the record set in 2020. Highest average high temperature: The average high temperature in Phoenix in July 2023 was 114.7 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the highest average high temperature for any month in Phoenix history. Highest average low temperature: The average low temperature in Phoenix in July 2023 was 90.8 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the highest average low temperature for any month in Phoenix history. Those cooling containers used to store bodies during Covid have been brought back to be used for those dying from the heat.
