Sup, iam Douglas Kelley, I bid you good day, sir/ma’am.
Wow, 1936 was really hot! I mean, it was scorching. It was so hot that summer that people were literally melting in the streets. You couldn’t go outside without breaking a sweat - and not just a little one either! Everyone was fanning themselves off and trying to find ways to cool down. It was so bad that some folks even resorted to jumping in the nearest body of water they could find - anything for a break from the heat! All in all, it’s safe to say that 1936 was one sizzling summer.
Why Was 1936 So Hot? [Solved]
It was like a furnace out there on the Plains - no vegetation or moisture to cool things down. The climate was practically desert-like, and the heat just kept getting worse. Then, a strong ridge of high pressure set up shop over the west coast and sent all that heat northward across the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Ugh!
It was scorching hot in 1936! You could fry an egg on the sidewalk. It was so hot, you’d be sweating buckets just walking around. People were fanning themselves and saying “Whew!” It was a real scorcher.
