Eighty years ago, almost 40% of the US was experiencing extreme drought, compared to 3% in September, 2014.
Not only was it dry, it was also very hot. The frequency of 90 degree days in the US has also plummeted over the past 80 years
The 1930s were much hotter and drier than anything we have experienced since.
Question??? Were global temps generally higher also during that period? Or was it just an extreme period in the U S (natural variability)?
Well, not than everyone has experienced. My mother was around then. 😉
