HOTTEST SUMMER SO FAR

Well l am looking at the temperatures around the places where I have lived.....New York, LA, San Francisco, Phoenix, Dubai, Hong Kong,  Shenzhen and Hangzhou and everywhere is baking.  Never understood why Hangzhou which is 1000 km north of HK is 6 degrees C hotter than HK all the time in summer and about 10c colder in winter.  New York City is baking as well. Guess those ice shelfs in Antartica and north pole are melting at very high speed now.  Glad I live on the 36th floor but might need a boat to get to work if this keeps up.
