Eventually most of inland america will be covered in a wide shallow sea and things will be right in the world.
Except for all the displaced people.
You kidding? We'll still be living there.
Oh yeah, people living in swamps is/may be a thing...
Wait, how shallow is "shallow sea"?
Nah, just literally won't be able to afford to move. I'd say we'd have people living on rafts if I didn't think they'd NIMBY raft building and declare it illegal to build a floating structure even after the water was at roof level.
I swear the reason we don't have good vernacular architecture is because anything actually useful would be declared illegal to build.
Texas' terrible power grid everyone hates is possibly going to have problems meeting the air conditioning load demand in the hot weather over the next few days, do what you can to prepare
Breaking: ERCOT has issued an alert for possible rolling blackouts Monday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. "A projected reserve capacity shortage with no market solution available." Additionally, ERCOT has issued a call for energy conservation Monday.
Fuck them. It's been 100°+ for almost a full month here, and the best my AC can do is make it feel like it's 87°. Turning down the AC in the past and future few weeks would literally kill people.
Tell the fucking glass fronted dutch oven skyscrapers to work from home or stop pretending you're actually trying to do anything.
Not sure what the humidity is like in those places but God damn was it humid this morning in upstate South Carolina. Average was 77% across the day but then it rained like hell. I was doing some yard work this morning around 8, before the rain, and after about 30 minutes I could ring the sweat out of my clothes. I barely sweat compared to most people too. I have never been somewhere hot and dry but I wonder how it really compares. Most people say it's much more tolerable.

Oh it is far more tolerable. For example we have similar humidity to you here but I spent the holiday where it was easily 30% less humid than here and that's like shaving 10-15 degrees off the temperature. An 85 degree day there felt like a 70 degree day here. It felt worse at midnight when we got home than it was in the middle of the day there.
112F is certainly hot but Phoenix is also only 30% humidity, so at 112F it's a wet bulb temperature of 84F. 90F at 77% humidity would feel equivalent to that.
Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

Around Dallas it's swung in around 40 to 80% humidity, with 100°F+ temps. Some days it's actually too hot to rain.

Guess who has 2 thumbs and organized a fancy be-suited dinner at Larkins at the end of a recent ish July and failed to specify the reservation for an indoor table
My method of staying cool was double-fisting gin and tonics, literally holding them in my hands
Lots of large sloshingly-sweaty and sloshed bankers that night
Ugh, I'm sitting here freezing my ass of at my office which normally targets 70-73 degrees, and is like 20% occupied while we're already at feels like 101 outside.
"Much of" is an understatement. Mainly you'll find AC in some office buildings, the bigger chain stores and in the higher-end shopping malls.
In private housing it's basically non-existent because people are of the opinion that "it's only hot for a few days a year, who needs the expense?" Nevermind the fact that as each year passes that "few days" becomes a little longer and the temperature it reaches becomes higher.
Our houses are built to trap and hold heat and built in such a way that running ducting for central air is nigh-impossible to retrofit, so any AC in houses is likely to be a minisplit system in one or two rooms or a portable unit with a vent-hose dangling out the window.
It's projected to reach 32C (90F) where I am on Tuesday which is one degree of the absolute maximum it's ever been recorded (33), but still way higher than average (19).

Oh my God I bet that fucking sucked. No shade in sight and all that concrete everywhere around you. We ate at smoke in the water a few weeks ago outside but it was basically dark when we sat down so it wasn't that bad.

Yikes. That is not good weather to have no AC in. I have to assume it's not a dry heat either.
That is literally hotter than the Mojave Desert is going to be this week, since it's going to cap at about 103 and here's Oklahoma declaring this is what it means to go even further beyond.
I'm near the top of the o in Near Normal in the upper left.

Yup! Triple-dip La Nina, persistent high pressure over the middle of the country, probably no relief this side of Halloween. It's 2011 all over again, except this time I'm not working the garden dock at Lowe's.

Seven of the next nine days here are forecast in the 90s, and it’s maybe the happiest I’ve been all year that I’m working night shift instead of coming home in the middle of broad daylight
I've always wanted to move to one of those places that gets multiple weeks/months of no light. But don't they also get the reverse, months of constant daytime? That would suck.
went on a backcountry canoeing/hiking trip in Alaska in 2008 and let me tell you, camping in Alaskan summer is surreal. you get used to it, eventually, but it's decidedly not something the human circadian rhythm is built for

I went to Patagonia for my first ever backcountry trek in their summer (December) and let me tell you bein completely unaware of the extended daylight, our plan to hike until sunset and get goin at sunrise didn't survive two days, when we finally cottoned on to what was happening.

We can cross our fingers and hope the giant hurricane currently hitting hawaii might disrupt that system.

"Driest June in Oklahoma since the Dust Bowl" is certainly a vibe.

Are you ready for endless night in the winter?
I visit Anchorage once a year in the dead of winter and there's like...4 hours of daylight.
