Breaking' the heat index: US heat waves to skyrocket as globe warms, study suggests

That sounds like me. I’ll be staying in my corner of Oklahoma as long as I can...hope no one finds out how good I have it here.

Too late! I already know. I travel to every State in the Union. Oklahoma is a fine State!

Oooops. I let the word out, didn't I?

Grrr....

Yes, please tell them to go to the coasts. But not that big one to the north. Stay away from that one, you would hate it here. lol

Average August high temperature where I live = 68 degrees F.

I have reason to fear the imminent hordes of climate-denying teabaggers fleeing the increasingly sweltering deep south and great plains states, and trying to get in on some of this action.

I live in the NW. We aren't getting much of this heat wave here. We are getting some sunny days, but humidity is more a problem here than anything.

Our summer got off to a bit of a late start, I was complaining in mid-june that it was still chilly at night, LOL. I should have known better. We've had a few hot humid days, but not too bad. We're supposed to be in the 90s and humid through the weekend though.

Ours was also off to a late start. Only now are we finally getting some reasonably reliable hot weather.
Spring here was exceptionally rainy and cold.
During our last winter, we had three weeks of snow. Normally it melts within a week, but this stuff just hung around. I realize that seems pretty trivial to you, but folks in Seattle aren't use to that!
Our previous winter we had no snow at all (except in the mountains of course).
Our previous spring was warm and wonderful. Almost like summer.
Our previous summer was hot and baking.

In every case, the religious idiots blamed it on 'climate change' and told to expect more the same! What morons. It's like they have no memory from more than last week's news cycle.

Yeah, it's amazing how the alarmists will just believe and worship some hockey stick chart, instead of going outside and seeing that the weather has not gotten more severe. When I moved to Ohio in the late 80s, every summer was miserably hot and humid, with lots of severe weather. Now, not so much.

I applaud that common sense. I really do!

Thanks Sailor! I take that as a high compliment coming from you.

Maybe it's not too late to do like Canada and require all new residents to have gainful employment and enough savings to last a year. And at least an associate's degree. lol

A "major heat wave" is expected to bake two-thirds of the nation through this weekend, with forecasters calling for temperatures to soar across much of the central and eastern U.S., the National Weather Service said.

Yup... Here in my area of WI, it is expected to reach the mid to upper 90s for a couple days or so... But, we've experienced temperatures this high seven years ago, also in the month of July... What is happening is called SUMMER TIME.

Many in those areas could see the hottest temperatures of the year, thanks to a large dome of high pressure that will send temperatures climbing in the coming days, the weather service said.

Yup... and it got this hot in my area of WI seven years ago, also during the month of July... It is called SUMMER TIME.

Already on Tuesday night, an estimated 34 million people were under heat advisories and another 21 million were under excessive heat warnings, according to the weather service. The affected areas stretched from Texas to much of the Plains. The East Coast is feeling the heat, too, with advisories issued from South Carolina to New Jersey.

Summer time.

Although he didn't declare a heat emergency, Boston's mayor on Tuesday warned residents to prepare for the heat and take precautions for temperatures expected to be between 85 and 97 degrees, with the hottest forecast on Saturday. With the humidity, it could feel as hot as 105 degrees, the mayor's office said.

Here in my area of WI, we are going to be experiencing the high end of that... Mid to upper 90s with heat indexes around 105 plus... This has happened here in my area of WI as recently as seven years ago... it is called SUMMER TIME.
