Caught a break today. The temp only went to 108°, barely a record. Less than 150 miles from here it was 116°.

It's been over 110 here recently. 114 in Little Rock and Ozark. Ozark is up in the northwestern part of the state, so we don't think about it getting so hot there. Just a little farther you are in the foothills of the Ozarks.
High humidity makes it stifling. Stepping outside feels like stepping into an oven.
The all-time high in Arkansas is only 120, so we've gotten pretty close. I feel very sorry for the people who have to earn their livings doing manual labor outside.

One upshot of the heat is that the ground is cracking. I hate to think what it does to tree roots.
The string is now 37 days over 100°. The forecast is for 103° or higher for seven more days, putting us with a New Waco Record. Huzzah. Plus, we now have 6 straight days of daily record highs.

It is official. We have a new record: 43 straight days over 100°, and no end in sight.
My wife saw the channel 10 weatherman at Walmart. He says the heat will likely not break until October. The string of 100° days could easily top 50. So far only two other streaks have topped 25.

JIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Since I spent time in a place where it goes past 110° every day for months, I have a different heat tolerance than most people. That being said, this is getting old.

Originally posted by Lucky View PostWe saw a piece on television the other day which said the streak ended before reaching 42, so we were glad to hear that you've had some relief. Apparently, that report was erroneous. Sorry you can't seem to get a break out there.
However, today you have your wish. The high fell 12° from yesterday. Just 48 hours ago the forcast was for 104°. It is the first day under 100° since 29 June 2011, and the only the second day under 95° since 26 May 2011. We have a good shot at the record for most days over 100°, needing 3 more to make 64 for the year. Tomorrow's forecast is for 102°.
