MoreThis year could be hotter than the year of the dust bowl.
Reuters News Service reported that this summer is the hottest since the "Dust Bowl" of the 1930s according to U.S. government weather experts. Drought conditions struck nearly half the country. The Natioinal Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported the average temperature for the contiguous United States from June through August was 73.9oF (23.3oC). That would be the third hottest since they began collecting data in 1895. The only warmer summers were 1936 and 1934.
