Hot Enough For Me

It is a steamy time of year, here. The humidity, in particular, is rough, keeping the heat in until quite late. I wonder if we've been setting records lately. I know that we've been trending up in such swings:

But it is tough to say within the last several years (as opposed to the last decade) if that's the case.

UPDATE:

Apparently the ratio is definitely increasing even within the decade.

There's always this problem with ratios of random variables--the distribution is frequently quite fat-tailed. Then you need a whole lot of data to form a good estimator.

Also the fact that it is implicitly a heteroskadistic qty in this case is a PITA.
