Fortunately, we haven't had one triple digit day yet but this weekend is
supposed change that.
The National Weather Service records that this was the hottest July since
they began keeping records. This pertains to average temperature for (1)
entire world - land and sea, (2) ocean temperatures, (3) continental U.S.,
and (4) Washington D.C. metro area.

One micro-climate's conditions cannot be used to generalize.

Peersonally, I think this nit picking over what's "climate" and what's
"weather change" is useless. I was commenting on the fact we are having a
decent summer after last year's blow out. It's not really a commentary on
the AGW issue. The article (Russia) I think speaks for itself. I have little
doubt something is happening to our overall climate and it's getting hotter.
Is it man made? I'm not 100% convinced either way yet.
