This summer is turning up the heat – literally. The US just roasted through its second-warmest June ever recorded, according to NOAA's latest climate report. With an average temperature of 71.8°F (22.1°C), this June was a sizzling 3.4°F above normal. 🌎
From coast to coast, Americans battled extreme heat waves that made air conditioners work overtime and ice cream trucks heroes. NOAA scientists say this isn't just a fluke – it's part of a clear warming trend that's rewriting record books faster than TikTok trends. 📈
While Phoenix residents joked about frying eggs on sidewalks, farmers watched crops wilt and energy grids groaned under AC demand. The report comes as climate experts issue new warnings: 'These temperatures are our new reality,' says NOAA climatologist Jessica Blunden. 'Every fraction of a degree matters in the climate crisis.' ⚠️
Young activists are using the data to push for greener policies, while travelers are rethinking summer road trips. Pro tip: Hydrate like it's your job and download those weather apps! 💧📱
