This reminds me of my Dad used to say such Dad things growing up, especially at the beach he'd say, "The Sun is hot" and later on say, "The Water is wet"...😮

Mid '90s in June I don't understand what the big deal is Am I missing something it's summer

[gmanky]

You know, when I was a child in the 1960s, it got real hot in the summer . Then as a teenager in the ‘70s, I remember days in the summer when it stayed in the high 90°s for weeks. In the Army in the 80s and 90s, depending on where I was stationed, 90s and 100s° summer weather happened. We still trained and fought.
Skip into the 2020s, and suddenly hot weather is a new thing! During the summer! Dear Lord save us!!!

The sun is jealous of the ability for humans to warm the temperature. 😢😅😅😅

It's going to get as hot as it got last year and the time before that.

The 90s in late June, wow, like it's been since I can remember, every summer since the 1960s.

I'm in Tucson Arizona, triple digits? So we get that every year. 109° last week, I think it's cooler today only 103° .

[CountryFenderBass]

It’s called summer. In case you forgot we had summer last year also. Summer comes around every year. What happens is it gets warm then it gets hot and then warm again. The heat comes from the sun. Next year we will have summer again and it will get hot again…..

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

"There will be weather."
