A Cool Summer

The website Real Science reports that this has been the coolest summer (so far) on record. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the link.

The frequency of 90 degree days in the US has been plummeting for 80 years, and 2014 has had the lowest frequency of 90 degree days through July 23 on record. The only other year which came close was 1992, and that was due to dust in the atmosphere from Mt Pinatubo.

The chart that accompanies the article is informative, the trend line for percentage of 90 degree days has a decidedly negative slope.
