We'll talk about how hot this year was from now on out...even if the rest of the year "behaves" and approximates climate normals. Here are 4 charts illustrating how hot it has been so far this year.
Climate extremes just got even crazier

The Derecho of June 29, 2012
I just had to save this link. The "Derecho Superstorm" that blasted to many millions of Americans that last week in June. NWS Documents the Derecho of June 29, 2012

Strange Comment from the State Climatologist
I've been digging around in the climate data for the last few days, really mining some "ugly" raw data. However, once the data is organized a great sigh of relief is heard around the office. Now the data is useful. I hope to post it online in the near future.
In other news:
Dr. John Christy is the Alabama State Climatologist. He had something interesting to say in a recent online article.
Using data from 75 weather stations from Greenville to Tennessee, Christy developed a set of temperature records going back to 1883. Looking only at average high temperatures for June, July and August, he found that the average for the past six summers was the hottest since 1952-1957.
While 2006-2011 was the hottest six-summer stretch in more than half a century, it was only the tenth hottest six-summer period on the 129-year record. That seems to eliminate manmade global warming as a likely cause for the recent hot summers, Christy said.
(Emphasis mine)

Now as we've stated before in this blog... the globe is a big place. What happens in Alabama does not determine what is happening over the entire globe. I won't repeat that speech here but you can read it -->> http://blognimrod.blogspot.com/2010/12/one-minute-global-warming-speech.html
if you like.
It would be interesting to see that raw data dating to 1883 and run the computations to see what the numbers show.
Until next time!
