• white stretches are missing data
• disappearance of green/yellow "cool"/"comfortable" zone in January mornings
• disappearance of yellow "comfortable" zone from all mornings year round
• appearance of dark red "sweltering" zones throughout Jan/Feb/March/April afternoons. This is at an avg relative humidity of 84%.
• Lagos is also a coastal city, so the rest of Nigeria and interior Africa is even worse

Obviously the mayo empire is one big multihemispheric sundown town, but the US manages to be worse than the rest, the rural areas manage to be worse still, and then within that there are still standouts even by rural standards.

Is there a map of the standouts?

edit: I'm also interested in east/west coast and northern sundown towns. Everyone kinda knows the entire mid US is a giant sundown zone

I skipped the years 2006 - 2017 to make the change look more obvious

I recommend viewing it full screen and glancing back and forth between different years

2002 was a freak hot year

In the 2000s you see a lot of yellow and green interlaced into the summer nights, and much less dark red.
You also see much more blue in the winters

It took only 18 years to get to this point (the difference between the median years of the two data sets), and since it's always faster than expected, we probably got ~9 years for the next equivalent amount of change, and then ~4 years for the next one after that, except it's probably even faster than this so ima say 3 years till the nukes fly

1. How "planned" was the economy? What are some examples that demonstrate its "plannedness" compared to current states like China?

2. Why did it fail?

3. How good was the standard of living?
