Is Florida now unsurvivable because it's an oven due to climate change? It's 11:48 am on May 30th and the heat index in SoFla is 100. I can see it going up to over 130 by July.

Is Florida now unsurvivable because it's an oven due to climate change? It's 11:48 am on May 30th and the heat index in SoFla is 100. I can see it going up to over 130 by July.

We are switching to an El Niño cycle. Cooler in the Pacific and hotter in the Atlantic.

We’ve had a below average year all year up until May.

I fished in, swam in and surfed in the ocean all fall, winter and spring. Ocean temperatures were well below average as indicated by NOAA, local surf and weather forecasts, in addition to empirical knowledge, fish, wildlife and wind patterns.

South Florida is much closer to the Gulfstream than the rest of Florida which can cause local variations in weather that are distinct from the rest of the state.

We had an El Niño all fall and winter. Florida’s temps have been well below average all year up until just recently.

We have had a north flow even into late May. Which both makes the weather cooler while also being a result of cooler weather. It blew NE yesterday when our wind pattern always switches to the SSE in early spring and stays that way through September. A north wind in May is an anomaly, but one of cold weather not warm.

You overlooked nearly an entire year of cooler temperatures in Florida in favor of a singular month to make a claim.

Now all of a sudden it’s ’climate Change’.

The pompano ran late into spring when their run typically ends in late February or early March as pompano prefer cooler water.

So it would be very easy to claim ‘Florida is cooling’ given your metric. Because it was, all fall. winter and spring. Both land and sea temperatures were significantly below average.

The snook were late to not arriving at all even at the very end of the season (June 1st) because water temperatures were too cold for the snook.

As the alarmists would say ‘that’s weather, not climate’.

How did the trans issue metastasize within just a decade from being a question of kindness and tolerance to a tiny minority to convulsing a whole society?

Ocean temps have been 2–3 F cooler on average- which is far more significant than a 2–3 change in air temperature due to it’s specific heat.

It may well be a hotter than normal summer in the Atlantic. But the Pacific will be cooler. You don’t get to pick and choose abnormal trends that suit your belief set while ignoring all others that don’t support it.

If you cherry pick the weather you can create whatever narrative you want.
