Since 1950, South Mississippi 100-degree days nearly unchanged while overnight warmth increases four-fold

The headline says it all. Looking back at 70 years of data, South Mississippi’s hottest days during the “Summer” (from May through September) have stayed about the same while the temperatures overnight have warmed up…
