For understandable reasons, we have been focusing a lot on the West, but there's a much broader signal. Many stations across the entire southern half of the U.S. are recording their highest average maximum temperatures on record so far this March.

Zach, I want to ask you if you have any sense that this might be the year where heat index turns truly lethal. With the prospect that a super El Niño is in the works, does it amplify summer extremes?
I haven’t been following It’s development of late. There’s been too much news just over the crazy weather we’re having.
@ZLabe Hopefully this leads to more predictive models, instead of just post-defacto data. While increasingly accurate past effects are worthy of themselves; translating it to prescient measures is becoming more and more the priority.
Keep up the stellar work.
