WASHINGTON (AP) — This probably comes as no surprise: Federal scientists say July was the hottest month ever recorded in the Lower 48 states, breaking a record set during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

And even less a surprise: The U.S. this year keeps setting records for weather extremes, based on the precise calculations that include drought, heavy rainfall, unusual temperatures, and storms.

The average temperature last month was 77.6 degrees. That breaks the old record from July 1936 by 0.2 degree, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Records go back to 1895.

"It's a pretty significant increase over the last record," said climate scientist Jake Crouch of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. In the past, skeptics of global warming have pointed to the Dust Bowl to argue that recent heat isn't unprecedented. But Crouch said this shows that the current year "is out and beyond those Dust Bowl years. We're rivaling and beating them consistently from month to month."

Three of the nation's five hottest months on record have been recent Julys: This year, 2011 and 2006. Julys in 1936 and 1934 round out the top five.

Last month also was 3.3 degrees warmer than the 20th century average for July.

Thirty-two states had months that were among their 10 warmest Julys, but only one, Virginia, had the hottest July on record. Crouch said that's a bit unusual, but that it shows the breadth of the heat and associated drought.

**It's Hot Here**

Meh, 114 here today, nothing new.

coldest summer ever here. not one day of sunshine.

global warming sucketh big time

Wouldn't it be getting hotter and hotter every year, according to the climatologists... the record was in 1936.. shouldn't the record break every year...

Is the jet stream the culprit? Sol? Co2 my ass..

No, no. He's probably in the UK.

Ever questioned the position of the official thermometers?

You may be surprised that many of them are placed next to blacktop runways. What would be the result of that?

My internal thermometer tells me it is hotter than f*ck. It ain't normal. I don't believe in the global warming spewage, but FFS something is happening and going wrong. Hell if I know what it is, but something is happening.

Augusts started off with quite a bang up here in the sticks of Canuckistan. Low 30's © isn't common for August here, and I'm thinking we might get a whole month more of these temperatures, since we experienced such a strangely-late Spring. Here, at least.

Let us also consider the position of the jet stream which will dictate weather. Haarp and associated technologies heat the atmosphere and have been acknowledged to dictate and alter the position of the jest stream - I won't get into the science here, but it is an acknowledged fact from both the developers of the upper atmosphere heating stations and the inventor itself.

Geoengineering? Now, why would they do that?

OOOh, I would love for old whatsisname to arrive and debate me on this one. I would ream his ass with facts and figures! chuckle
