Even up here at nearly 5,000 ft elevation, we have already hit 78 degs. F in the
shade,
which ties the highest temp we've
ever seen in our 7 years here...and, it's only June.
The A/C, set at 77ish, has kicked in on all 3 zones a few times already.
The first couple years up here we would turn on the A/C just to be sure
it worked...now, it's like we moved a couple of thousand feet lower...
And, we have historically had very few flying pesky bugs; (I don't mean
butterflies/moths and the usual mtn/woods insects)...now, we have
gnats & flies up the wazoo and even a few mosquitoes, which I had never
seen up here before. Regardless of "who/why", our climate has changed
up here at elevation. It is generally warmer and more chaotic in extremes,
imo.
