Climate Change Is Causing Sweltering Summer Nights![]() If it seems like it's increasingly too hot to sleep during the summer, you're not imagining things. Axios reports that summer evenings are getting warmer across much of the US—especially in the Southwest—due to the effects of climate change. The findings come from a new report by Climate Central , in which it analyzed the average minimum nighttime temperatures in summer in 247 cities across the country. Since 1970, all but one of the cities have seen an increase in the frequency of warmer-than-normal summer nights. The study also says the average summer minimum nighttime temperature warmed in 231 of these cities (96%) by an average of 3.1 degrees Fahrenheit. The increase has been especially noticeable in the Southwest, where the average temperature on a summer night warmed by 4.5 F across 11 locations. The biggest increases occurred in Reno, Nevada (17.7 F); Las Vegas (10 F); and El Paso, Texas (8.9 F). Meanwhile, the cities with the largest increases in the number of warmer-than-normal summer nights are all in Florida: West Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. All of the research comes from Climate Central's "Climate Shift Index," which measures the impact of climate change on local daily temperatures. All of this matters because warm nights limit our bodies' ability to recover
