FLORIDA HAS RECORD BREAKING TEMPS in MAY & JUN
No prob right? TheAtlantic probably isn't any 'cooler' than normal, right? We probably won't get any 'possible' hurricane related outcomes--you know like quantity and intensity? NAH... Besides people move to Florida for the 'warm weather'. So what?
Remember this is MAY!

Florida Feeling The Heat As May Was Record-Breaking Hot
WEST PALM BEACH (CBSMiami/AP) — Floridians are feeling the heat, literally.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday that last month was the hottest May in Florida in more than a century.
The Palm Beach Post reports that last month’s average temperature of 78.8 degrees Fahrenheit was 3.7 degrees hotter than normal.
That temperature earned it the top spot in May for Florida since records started being kept in 1895.
Florida climatologist David Zierden said the May heat wasn’t necessarily tied to climate change. He says a deep-layer, high-pressure system set over Florida for more than two weeks.

And this! Apparently, we're not even SPECIAL. Several states broke their OLD records...
This May in Florida was so appallingly hot that it broke state records

Last month was hot. Very, very hot. In fact, it was the hottest month of May the state of Florida has experienced in more than a century.
According to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the average temperature in the Sunshine State was a blistering 78.8 degrees, a new personal “best” since we started tracking climate records back in 1895.
And it wasn’t just a little hotter; this new record is nearly four degrees hotter than the previous record of 75.1 degrees.
Also, if you want to feel even more special about last month’s ungodly roasting, Florida was the only state to break its own temperature record — Virginia had its third-hottest month, while North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia all had their second-toastiest Mays.
Why was it so damn hot? Well, Florida climatologist David Zierden told the Palm Beach Post that last month’s record temps were because of a “deep-layer, high-pressure system set over Florida for more than two weeks.” But there’s also the fact that temperatures in the Southeast U.S. have steadily risen by an average of 2 degrees Fahrenheit since 1970, due to manmade climate change.
“Seventy years from now, temperatures in most of [Florida] are likely to rise above 95°F between 45 and 90 days per year, compared with less than 15 days per year today,” says a January report from the Environmental Protection Agency. “Higher humidity will further increase the heat index and associated impacts on health.”
