Saturday’s temperature had triggered an excessive heat warning across Arizona as lows were expected to range between 80F and 86F
On Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service announced that the temperature at Phoenix Sky Harbor international airport reached 110F, making it the 54th day this year with temperatures of at least 110F.
Saturday’s temperature breaks the previous record of 53 days that was set in 2020. From 1991 to 2020, the average consecutive days of 110F or above is 21 days, the NWS said.
An excessive heat warning has been issued for south central and south-west Arizona until 8pm on Sunday as weekend highs are expected to range between 108F and 114F. Meanwhile, lows are expected to range between 80F to 86F.
I am going to need to see a breakdown on deaths by political affiliation to gauge how to feel about this.
On the other hand, conservatives (in the US, maybe elsewhere) are so consistently and universally wrong, if they all died we’d be better off.
The disagreement isn’t like “Should we get pizza or tacos”. It’s like “Should gay people exist?” “Is climate change a thing?” “Is slavery good, actually?”
Pretty much every problem we have is made worse by conservatives fighting to keep the status quo or reverse progress.
Fuck them. We would be better off if they were dead.
They are the leading group coincidentally

Well, Maricopa county (and Arizona as a whole) was pretty much evenly split last election, and in the end it came out as blue, so I think it’s not that much of a leopards situation.

The group mostly affected by the heat continues to be in the 50 to 64 age range, with 34% of deaths being linked to this demographic. According to the report, 76% of deaths have occurred outdoors — a 4% increase from last week’s report.
