How hot is it at 9:00 PM? (I think I'll have y-all beat!)

Musings are fun! My question ( musing) is why, why will God raise the temperature, not that God can't or won't. How will a temperature rise fit into spiritual warfare plan in a way that it is seen to be God's will to raise the temps.

BTW we peaked at 82 today, a bit hot but not unreasonable. Actually good weather for the painting  of the patio ceilings. My old body with it's bad shoulders is sure unhappy about my brain's decision to do overhead work though.

The way I read Revelation is that God will ratchet everything up, hopefully causing people to turn from their independent & sinful ways. Things getting worse and worse are a mercy, that through these things more might repent and turn to God.  This is what I mean by "turning up the heat."

And I don't think that this will just be super natural calamities, but also natural calamities . . . likely starting with the natural things going funky and then if that doesn't turn men's hearts, events then start turning more supernatural.  

So does that mean that's what's going on with the high temps now? (FYI: numerous heat records smashed in Phoenix this summer including 22 days straight getting above 110F; 4 days in a row hitting 119; record low temperature of 97 overnight - and the hits just keep coming!) I dunno - above my pay grade!

That's pretty much it . . . go from A/C to A/C!  And if doing outside work around the house, it happens mostly before 9:00 am (it's getting to 100 by 9:00 am and stays over 100 well past 9:00 pm).

Unless playing with the irrigation - I can handle getting wet about any time!  LOL

Records have to be set sometime I suppose, both hot and cold. Maybe it is just the exhaust heat from all those crypto currency mines.

Nothing new under the sun, as the Preacher said in Ecclesiastes . . . it's been hot before and it'll be hot again, etc.

Nice thing about summer is it will be over at some point. God promised that too (but I wouldn't mind fast forwarding a bit, frankly).

You may be right . . . but I pretty much do have all y'alls beat in the heat department (unless you actually live in Phoenix vs. Snottsdale . . . which is usually a couple degrees cooler)!

There was a time when I could have beat you. But I moved to northern arizona so you "win".

Remembers going outside at 120 degrees one summer.

  Yep! 94 degrees f is tops for me, above that and I am out  of there. But  I am about to travel south to the Suncoast- in August. Now who planned that one? Oh, me. Poor spouse, she is not especially thrilled by it but she is kind!

All the extreme heat and yet the Antartica sea ice is still increasing.

The highest temperature recorded in Oklahoma City was 113 degrees. This occurred on two occasions, once on Aug. 11, 1936, and again on Aug. 3, 2012.

 

In 2012 they blamed it on global warming.   In 1936 they blamed it on being summer.

Interesting data..

Two dates tie for the hottest day in Texas history. On August 12, 1936, Seymour (northwest of Dallas-Fort Worth) clocked in intimidating temperatures reaching 120 degrees. Then on June 28, 1994, Monahans (just north of Fort Stockton)reached 120 degrees.

Wichita Falls – 117 degrees, 1980

Midland-Odessa – 116 degrees, 1994

South central where I live a chilly 108, so far, 2023

The highest temperature recorded in California, 134 degrees, is also the current hottest air temperature on record on Earth and was measured in Death Valley, California, on July 10, 1913.
