May heating up is another reminder of climate change.
Climate change not only shifting us towards hotter weather but also coming earlier in the year. In Philadelphia, the first 85°F+ is arriving 14 days earlier on average.
54% of US cities have recorded summer temperatures at least one week earlier than they did 50 years ago, according to Climate Central.
Summer heat presents a challenge to health, especially with the city’s urban heat island effect. The Office of Sustainability created the “Beat the Heat” plan to help residents cope with higher temperatures.
