I am old enough to remember when the average high during the dog days summer in was 83 degrees, with the 1981-2010 climate normals for Albany. 🏖

Nowadays, it’s 85 degrees, according to the 1991-2020 climate normals.
 
Probably in ten years when the 2001-2030 normals come out, we will be talking about normal high temperature for Albany during the dog days of summer being an average of 87 degrees.
 
Come 2050, maybe the dog days of summer will mean an average of temperatures of 90 degrees.
