Hot enough for you?

Here in the Twin Cities, this summer is the sixth hottest ever so far. In fact, as meteorologist Sven Sundgaard tweeted recently, if you are under the age of 65, you’ve only lived through five summers that have been hotter.

On Friday at 9 a.m., MPR News host Kerri Miller got the details from Sundgaard about what’s going on. Can we chalk this up to climate change? Are dew points extra high because of corn sweat? And will the second half of summer be as sweaty as the first?
