Linen jackets are the perfect cover up for
warmer summer days or slightly cooler
evenings but these jackets are also
great to wear
on its own as I'm doing here.
[Response: Your argument misses the point in three different and important ways, not
even considering whether or not the Black Hills data have any general applicability elsewhere, which they may or may not: (1) It ignores the point made in the post about the potential effect of previous, seasonal
warming on the magnitude of an extreme event in mid
summer to early fall, due to things like (especially) a depletion in soil moisture and consequent accumulation of degree days, (2) it ignores that biological sensitivity is far FAR
greater during the
warm season than the cold season for a whole number of crucial variables ranging from respiration and photosynthesis to transpiration rates, and (3) it ignores the potential for derivative effects, particularly fire and smoke, in radically increasing the local temperature effects of the heat wave.
