For good reason. In Louisiana and Texas, each meteorological summer (June-August), beginning with the year 2009 has had temps 3°-8°F above historic averages, with below normal average rainfall other than during tropical storm/hurricane events. The last two summers in particular were brutally hot and rainless, and the beat goes on.

Meanwhile, just a little bit East in North AL, ya know......still in the Southeast, here are the rankings of Summers since 2009 in regards to where they each ranked in average high temperature for June-September.

2023 - 53
2022 - 30
2021 - 93
2020 - 75
2019 - 15
2018 - 20
2017 - 82
2016 - 4
2015 - 28
2014 - 29
2013 - 89
2012 - 68
2011 - 43
2010 - 3
2009 - 84

That's right, the world's hottest Summer ever in the history of ever only ranked as the 53rd hottest we've ever had. The 2020s currently ranks as the 8th hottest decade of Summers we've had, with the 1930s taking first by a large margin, and the 1920s taking second.

That makes no sense. For one thing, why are you mentioning Alabama? I specifically mentioned LA & TX because those two states have been subjected to climate change more directly in the form of heat domes parking over the region. Of course if a strong anticyclone park over a region, the area immediately to the east will have more north/northwest breezes which tend to be cooler and less humid than the regime underneath the heat dome, which has experienced both torrid daytime highs & nighttime lows. Houston in 2011, and again in 2023, experienced daytime highs of 100+°F 30/31 days during August in both 2011 & 2023, with maximums of 109°F in both years (all time record for IAH).

Meteorological summer heat ranks, by year, Houston IAH:

2023-- 1st
2011-- 2nd
2022-- 3rd
2009-- 4th (tied with 1980).
