The reporting I'm experiencing report global high temps increasing, as well as overnight low temperatures.
Polar regions are warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe.
In 2020, the Arctic set an all-time record heat wave.
And the most important aspect of the warming has to do latent heat. It's the increased water vapor which is feeding the rapidly-intensifying storms, and the heat-index is what's killing people right now.
Sure, there will be variable regional distributions of heat and moisture, but globally, the writing's on the wall.
