So many days of oppressive heat and very few thunderstorms

I am no meteorologist but this seems quite unusual. For reference I live in the Philly suburbs

I'm north of you and same here. Looks like it might do something, but so far nothing. Very dry.

Each of the past 3 years has been the hottest year on record, and the trend is expected to continue in successive years.

 

If you dont have an AC unit in your house, you'd better get one.  It's not going to get any better.

Oh my goodness isn't terrible?  My nickname shows where I am.  Summers get hot and sticky, but I can not remember this long of a stretch of consecutive days of heat and humidity, temps in triple digits, with no end in sight.

Global warming is real and, no, that's not a political statement. It's a fact and we are all suffering from it.

Here in the midwest (Indiana) were finally in the 70's but it's still quite humid. The only good thing I have to say is we are getting rain today and tonight so I didn't have to water all my flowers today! Not fond of this hot and humid weather.

Would love some thunderstorms here in Arizona. It's only 113 now but no humidity. Want the rain, not the humidity.

@Meowingkitty.  Have you had any monsoon storms?  We, in Albuquerque, have had several good rains and the humidity has been high.  Saturday it was 7%, then a cold front came through bringing wind and some rains, so today the humidity was 46%.  It was only 84° yesterday.
