If You Think It was Hot At Kalamazoo’s Ribfest, Just Wait 30 Years
Depending on what side your politics fall on, you're either going to agree or disagree with what you read here. But the finest weatherman in the country, WGN-TV, Chicago's Tom Skilling says if you think it was hot last weekend, it's only going to get worse. A lot worse; as in consider buying stock in a company that makes underarm deodorant, and one that makes fans, or air conditioners.
If you look at the map in Skilling's post, you see only about three counties in Michigan, but as luck would have it, one of them is Kalamazoo. Now, I understand these are just predictions, but these scientists, while not exactly on every forecast, generally are pretty accurate.
In addition to what's above,
The impact of heat waves grows when temps at night remain elevated. We saw that in Chicago in July 1995 when 773 perished in a heat wave which included triple-digit daytime heat indices--but also three nights in the city in which temps failed to drop below 80-deg. Studies of that event showed deaths increased exponentially when nighttime temps failed to cool. - WGN-TV Meteorologist Tom Skilling on Facebook
