Here in Hawaii we've obliterated temperature records. July, August, September, and November were the hottest respective months ever recorded. For 20 straight consecutive days from Aug to September we set new records for hottest temperatures in a really brutal heat wave. August 2019 was the warmest global ocean temperature on record.

It made me realize that while global average temperature is scheduled to increase ~2 degrees, that is just the average. Some places on Earth won't see that much change because of regional climate systems, but other places in the changing vortex will have way more than just 2 degrees. The general consensus here is that 95 degree Honolulu is the new normal.
