Sigh. As I suspected the answer is: not at hotter. It’s not-that I don’t think climate change is real. It’s just I’m sick of it always being so darn cold here! Lol.
I live in Wisconsin. I haven’t noticed temperature extremes although I’m sure it has gotten hotter. The big problem here now is precipitation. Rain, rain, and more rain, and now flooding in certain parts of the state.
Hotter. In the year I was born, on average 15 days over 90 per year and now…27days on average above 90 degrees. I was surprised to see that the place I live now, despite being a short distance away, had only 9 days above 90 on average the year I was born, but 22 now. 22 seems low. Since June this year, we’ve already had 37 days above 90 tho many more that felt much higher with the heat index. This summer has been one of the more miserable lately in terms of humidity. I’m looking forward to fall!
Looks like it counts or estimates number of 90F days in a year. So cooler cities not prone to 90F days have no information in the linked page, whether or not they actually got warmer.
My hometown is about 45 mins away from where I live now. It says in 1960 it could expect about 5 days to reach 90 or above. I think we’ve had 5 90 degree days in the last week!!!
I’ve lived in my city for 30 years. Back then, you could count on afternoon thunderstorms to cool down the 90-degree days. Now temps are higher, and the rain is… somewhat of a rarity. Long stretches of warmish, dry winter weather with no snow.
Definitely hotter.
When I was a kid, it was rare for a home to have A/C. You rarely needed it. Maybe we had a heat wave of 2-3 days every summer but that was it. Now, it’s more common than not to have A/C. You need it!
Also, the gardening/plant hardiness zones have changed in our area.
Funny that the NYT page says it hasn’t changed but that it will. It puts the 90+ degree days at an average of 1 per year for my area. We’ve had more than that just this week. And we’ve had a couple dozen this summer. So, I’m not putting a whole lot of weight on that tool.
Oh, we’re discussing weather. Not how much cuter the guys had gotten. 
I thought it was about exorbitant RE markets. 
@abasket, similar weather here too. I run the concessions stand at my son’s high school. Last week, the JV football team had a pre-season scrimmage. A new to high school mother asked if they might cancel the game due to the high heat/heat index. I told her that had never happened in my four years. Well, guess what - game was canceled. Same thing just happened again today. We were supposed to open for the JV season opener but temps in the 90s with heat index over 100 by this afternoon. I emailed the athletic director asking to update me asap if the game was canceled and got a response 10 minutes later saying they had just canceled the 4pm game. Of course, the soccer game, scheduled for 6pm is still on. Those poor guys still have to play - I get that football with helmets and pads is dangerous for heat stroke. However, having run myself this morning when the temps were only in the 80s, but still awfully humid, I couldn’t imagine the poor soccer players running on turf when temps are much higher than it was when I ran this morning. I barely made it through the run.
I am so done with this hot weather and can’t wait for fall. In the summer, I always take every chance I can to open my windows and shut the A/C off to let in fresh air. Usually there are days here and there when the humidity goes down but this summer, I think I have only turned my A/C off for ONE day. Even when the temp isn’t too bad, if it’s humid, you just can’t open the windows. YUCK. Dd couldn’t wait to get back to college this week on the west coast where it wasn’t humid.
Perhaps they should put back real grass and turn on the sprinklers during hot weather games.
The local U has mister fans that are used full-time during games on the sidelines. We have very high humidity and even the fans feel the heat!
did not compute. (my hometown was not subject to 90 degree days, so not on the chart) 
My hometown said the same thing but the town next door, similarly small, did have data. They both have the same weather. Go figure.
I’m not so much worried about rising temperatures in the Seattle suburbs as I am about the rising forest fire risks, something not on our radar 20 years ago when we bought the house. This summer everything around us got crackly dry, less than 1" of rain the past 3 months and many 90 degree days. We are surrounded by trees over 100 ft high.
Why I moved to Portland, Maine!

^This.
I was at the US Open for the first 8 days and, except for the weekend; It was just horridly hot. And so humid you could barely breath.
@MaineLonghorn Even Portland, ME has been hotter than usual/than it used to be.
@emilybee We often go to the opening days of the US Open and planned to this year but decided to pass because I just could not see myself sitting in that weather all day long and enjoying it. Kudos to you - and the players! - for surviving that.
