Last week, there was an op-ed in the NYT that showed the increase in average number of 90 degree days, in a sampling of U.S. cities, over the past decade vs. the average number from 1900 - 1980. Of the cities:
-The Sun Belt cities showed biggest increase in number of days.
-Northeast cities increased by similar percentages as the Sun Belt cities, but the overall number of days was minimal by comparison.
-Midwest cities were mostly unchanged (but it seems likely that that would change if trends in neighboring regions continue)
-Miami is off the fucking chart.
