This week, we've had the hottest days in recorded history.
Last night, I watched a classic Twilight Zone episode, "Midnight Sun." Earth's orbit has shifted; the planet is getting closer to the sun. Temperatures are hotter and hotter.
Serling depicted this week, back in 1961.

I'm supposed to go swimming tomorrow morning at the Cocoa Beach lap pool. The forecast right now is for a heat index of 96°F (36°C) with 74% humidity. I may cut that one short, or cancel.
@WordsmithFL that’s my favorite episode….
This is New York City and this is the eve of the end.
@Redskye572 I've been trying to figure out how they did the melting painting effect. 🤔
@WordsmithFL I read somewhere it was done by having the paintings painted on metal plates which were then heated up to create the melting effect.
@Redskye572 Makes sense. Thank you.
@WordsmithFL
One of my very favorite TZ's.
@WordsmithFL I think of it regularly and often.

"Midnight Sun" aired on November 17, 1961. Today, meanwhile, here in the #SpaceCoast, the heat index right now at 5:30 PM EDT is 100°F (38°C) with 70% humidity.
That episode has been in my head all day.
