I'm guessing that is orders of magnitude less water vapor generated.

It's a guess in any case, but we did detonate more megatonnage at the Pacific Proving Grounds than the upper estimates of the Hunga Tonga explosion.

Only 5 were underwater tests. Two of which we detonated deep so there was not much vapor pushed into the upper atmosphere. The last two were small tests.

I'd wager the volcano sent more vapor into the upper atmosphere than all of the tests combined.

That thing pushed more vapor than most of humanity from the past 100 years combined. That's why it has been such an interesting "Non-story".

Well 105-108 for 30 days in a row is not normal. Not since 2011 and that was a summer of record. Our historical high is 95. 108 is high
You're right its not normal, and it is not happening now.

Uh, yes it is.

Projected average high for the next 10 days here in Austin is 105. Up to 109 this Thursday.
Unfortunately....
