With 24 weather stations hitting all-time July highs and even northeastern regions sweltering, this isn’t your average 'hot girl summer'—it’s a climate wake-up call.
Why So Hot? 🔥
Blame it on the subtropical high-pressure system crashing the party early, trapping humidity like a steamy TikTok trend. Social media is flooded with memes about 'sauna weather' arriving months ahead of schedule—and the science backs it up.
