Heatwave Day 6

Day Number 6 of the heatwave. In that time we have had an air temperature range from 97 F to 102 F and a Dew Point range from 74 to 77 (71-75 is Oppressive on the Dew Point Scale and 76+ is Miserable.) The heatwave is supposed to continue until Friday when we will get severe thunderstorms and heavy rain. We will be one day short of the all-time longest heatwave of 8 days in 2002. It’s important to continue to check on those that may need extra care: the elderly, pets and the disabled.
