AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REACH DANGEROUS LEVELS THAT WILL STRESS THE BODY IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.

Doesn’t look like the temperatures are going to reach the forecast. I just checked Death Valley and it was 118 at 1pm. Suppose to get up to 129 today. I don’t think it is going to make it. The rest of the areas are cooler than forecast. However we have a couple of hours to go.

It is hot in Fairbanks, too. It was sunny all night and the temperature was already 54 by 6 AM. It is 75 now and even the mosquitoes are taking a siesta.

Houston had the lowest ever recorded, high temperature for July 2, it was 84 here. I doubt if it is that warm here today............ but of course we are drowning.

Yep, raining here for the longest time. Days and days of it.

I’m looking at a 1000 acres near Iowa Park ( Wichita Falls area) but too wet yet to meet realtor

We had 20 straight days of rain on central OK until yesterday and it finally quit raining.

Got to near 119 today (of course, in the shade). Tomorrow is going to be a little cooler, maybe just 118. This is according to the WeatherBug, not the little bugaboo on my profile page.

no, no, no, it is now global coolling... covering all their bases.

Years ago I had to spend some time flying back and forth to Phoenix in the summer.

I explain to folks here in the East that the experience of walking outside is like sticking your head and then your body into a burning wood-stove.

The only people who need a "warning" are people coming in from out of town. The locals already know the situation. :-)

LOL! After 110, I feel it. Guess I haven’t been here long enough.

In the Houston area, we are cloudy at 76 degrees with 91% humidity. Another huge storm is approaching us from the SE and our forecast calls for a 70% chance of rain all day Thursday.
We’re waterlogged here after several days of heavy downpours.

It's about to start getting really hot. We are still sitting at 8o degrees at 3:2o A.M. so betting on a hot one tomorrow...:^(

It was interesting to see what"the real weather" was around the neighborhoods though.

110 to 118 you can feel the difference, 8 degrees is a lot, after that, does it matter? your keys are hot, steering hot, car hot, legs stick to vinyl, etc....

verde.....rain falls but evaporates in the same nano second

The term is virga.

We've have 101 to 106 depending on where it was measured in Pocatello, ID today. It was 104.7 inside my upstairs office and 98 on the first floor. I tried to use the air conditioner, but all it did was pull hot air from upstairs and shove it into the cool basement (normally 65 all year). When the basement hit 86, I turned off the worthless air conditioner. The windows are open again and fans running full bore. Today's official high of 101 is a new record for the date. The previous record was 99 in 1976 for this date.

you probably have more humidity than we do, but ours is going up, dew pt almost at 55
