An Inconvenient Temperature

So here we are on June 5, and we’re supposed to be having this overwhelming feeling that the warm days of summer are underway. What’s going wrong? We should be enjoying comfortable temperatures in the upper 70s. And according to http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/habitat/climate/temp.htm,

North Dakota’s delightful summer season is at its best in June, July and August, and is perfect for all outdoor activities. The days are warm, sometimes even hot, but nights are one-blanket cool for restful sleep.

So what’s the temperature today at 1:06 p.m.?

52 degrees.

And that’s what is in the forecastable future too.

Global warming? I’ll take one, please…
