The summer quickening: An amazing amount of records are being shattered

It is not even a full week into July and already an earth shattering number of weather records have been broken: More than 3,000 temperature records now history as this hot age of July continues to bake and broil already dry and hot land..


There are still many without power in places affected by last week's derecho. This week, this heat is doing damage to people and land.. While you can certainly fry an egg on any given American highway today, you can also fear this: The great dust boll of 2012? Perhaps.. a report earlier today on Earthinformer linked to mainline news speaking about a potential that corn and wheat crops could face a crisis, just as hopes were high only weeks ago that the yield would be profitable...

The weather is not over yet.. Some of the most oppressive heat will hitting this weekend. 100+ temps expected for East Coast cities.


Get the eggs ready.
