I've had 60 summers in Texas and this one is NOT normal. Last year wasn't either. Hasn't been normal for several years. I can easily tell because the planting seasons aren't what they used to be. We know how to live with heat and humidity but this is next level now. We don't usually have people dropping dead left and right who misjudged the humidity part of this heat. We've had mail carriers, hikers, and elderly, among others, dying this summer because this is super dangerous heat.

It's tragic and unsettling, and we have a real prisoner's dilemma in air conditioning use ahead of us... but we have to get through this. Chat GPT, halp!
