As a former goalie, this tactic legit blew my mind. I expect this to become the norm next season across the big leagues. Can’t wait to check penalty statistics in a year!!!
Every state in the US has recorded temperatures of at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit including Alaska.
The highest temperature ever documented in the country reached 134 degrees Fahrenheit or 56.7 degrees Celsius at Death Valley California on July 10 1913. This measurement remains the highest reliably recorded air temperature on Earth.
Numerous states have experienced extremes well above 115 degrees Fahrenheit. In 1936 during the Dust Bowl era North Dakota recorded 121 degrees Fahrenheit even though the location sits only 150 miles from the Canadian border. Oklahoma registered 120 degrees Fahrenheit on multiple occasions that same summer.
The 2021 Pacific Northwest heat wave produced new milestones. Washington achieved an all time high of 120 degrees Fahrenheit while Oregon matched its statewide record of 119 degrees Fahrenheit.
Not all peak temperatures originate in the Southwest. Minnesota has reached 115 degrees Fahrenheit Missouri has hit 118 degrees Fahrenheit and Rhode Island has climbed to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
Alaska recorded its highest temperature of exactly 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Fort Yukon on June 27 1915. Hawaii also attained 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Pahala on April 27 1931.
The majority of statewide heat records occurred during July or August. However some emerged during atypical early season heat waves demonstrating that extreme temperatures can appear outside the core summer months.
With more than 260 million Americans currently facing dangerous heat conditions meteorologists caution that long standing state records may face challenges in the future as extreme heat events increase in frequency.

One of the United State's oddest geographical quirks is the so-called 'Kentucky Bend'. This parcel of land, an exclave of Kentucky, is surrounded on three sides by the River Mississippi (and the state of Missouri), and on its south side by Tennessee.
But, why?

Loggerhead sea turtles 🐢 don’t just migrate willy-nilly. As it turns out, they follow a narrow band of ideal chlorophyll and heat levels—which stretches across the Pacific and moves north and south with the seasons!
In honor of #WorldSeaTurtleDay, see how data collected from tagged turtles and @NOAA’s #satellites reveals this migration pattern!
