A Heat Wave Is Coming

Has anyone noticed how hot it's been lately? I know it's summer. Summer is typically characterized as a season filled with sun, sun and sun, but when was the last time Los Angeles temperatures went over 100 degrees?

According to a Time article I read titled Why This Summer Is So Hot-And Why The Future Will Be So Much Hotter, a huge heat wave is hitting the United States this week. "Meteorologists say heat waves like this one hit the northern hemisphere every year-even if they do not typically cover such a broad area-but in the coming decades Americans should expect stronger and more frequent hot spells."

This year's heat wave is "caused by hot air traveling up from west to east, bringing warm temperatures throughout the week." Temperatures will be anywhere from 110 degrees in Arizona to 105 degrees in different parts of the Midwest.

This is the starting point of many hot summers to come. "Recent research has shown that average summer temperatures post-2050 will regularly top today's records, unless there are efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions." Global warming is causing an increase in heat waves and climate change will make them more common. "Scientists already anticipate that 2016 will be the hottest year on record."
