Rained and it dropped 98→74°

Over 90°, with the South's characteristic high humidity, the last couple of days. Tomorrow (Saturday) is expected to be just as hot. Thunderstorms (also common here) are forecast for Sunday.

This heat is just out of control. Here in Austin, TX, as of today, we have had 31 days in a row of 100 degrees or more and a total of 47 days for the year. There is no end in sight as the 7 day forecast has us at 108 as an average each of the next 7 days.

When I went out on my run it was 104 with a feels like 107 due to 24% humidity.

So hot, we saw a hound chasing a rabbit...they were both walking!

High today was 86°. Overall, it has been a typical summer in Mississippi.

72 at noon when we left MI at noon on Saturday. 86 and humid when we arrived at home at 1:30am this morning. Hard to breath that thick air again.

Saw 109 in the car on the drive home.
Some light breeze & a few clouds, but just continuous miserable hot

Saw 109 while in car traveling south of Austin down to San Marcos today. Hot, but the 20% humidity vastly keeps it from being miserable.

Tooooo!

Averaging 96 here in mid Atlantic, FLA....my cold water faucet is 87 degrees.

Interesting chart, days above 100° in Austin.
This year ranks #17 so far.

Essentially true that north of I-70 it’s been an unusually cool and wet summer. South of I-40, brutal.

104° right now. No let-up in sight.

I guess it all depends on where the data is coming from. The chart at that link says as of 8/4/23, Austin has had 30 days of 100 degrees or more and the all time record was 74 in 2011. I went and grabbed a screenshot of the Austin news for 8/4/23, and they show as of that date there have been 44 days and the record was 90 days in 2011.

76 and mostly sunny in Bruceton Mills at 3:30, going down to 59 tonight.

Low 70's here in Conifer all week. I think we may have hit 88 1 day this summer.

Heat indices in the 114-116 degree range here in the arm pit of Alabama. Dew point 80 degrees. Never seen that before.

Another hot blast out west. Jeeez. It never seems to end this summer. It is as dry as paper thin tissue paper.

"Good Lord, please cool things down and bring some rain upon us. Please. Amen.

95F w 119 Heat Index as of noon in Savannah, Ga.
I am very ready for a hint of fall weather.
