The real scorchers are still weeks away, thanks to seasonal lag, where land and oceans slowly absorb and release solar energy. While July typically brings the hottest temperatures, we’ve already seen warmer-than-average days and less rain since early June. The solstice date can vary between June 20th and 22nd due to Earth’s orbital quirks, and while meteorological summer ends in August, astronomical summer lasts until the fall equinox on September 21st. Fans are still needed — the heat wave is coming, and we’ve got plenty of warm weather ahead before autumn arrives. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
