Hotter summers ahead for eastern United States

There’s a new study in the peer reviewed journal Climate Change that is predicting far hotter summers for the eastern U.S. in future decades. Discovery News has a good article that summarizes it. This study is under debate, but the premise behind it is that current models overestimate the number of rainy days we’ll have in the eastern U.S. as the planet warms. Rainy, cloudy days aren’t as hot. More dry days will bring hotter average temps and unbearably hot temps on the really hot days.
