I hope you’re bundling up.

I’d trade with you if I could.
We currently have a “heat index” of 111*. (And Tulsa – which is some 150 miles north and 5 degrees cooler than us – has an “excessive heat warning.” I guess they figure us Southern Oklahoma types are made of tougher stuff?)

That was this morning. For the moment, it’s 98 around my house, with the dew point down around the middle 60s. No warnings, though.

Our heat wave in metro ATL seems to have — well, not “broken exactly, since daytime dew points are still in the 70s (!) — partially melted. We’re no longer seeing forecast highs in the 90s.
Then again, as I type this the weather station that feeds TWC for nearby Sharpsburg is reporting 93. <sigh>

Texas, of course, is in the unabashed 100s, as usual.

Yeah, but Texas being Texas, 100 means different things in different parts of the state. (This time last year I was driving through Texas and I got to sweat through most of them; I sweated the least in El Paso, where the humidity was something like 9 percent.)

In light of how well convection ovens work, I wonder if there’s any temperature where the term changes from wind”chill” to wind”bake”…?

I’m thinking the WC thing will persist until they add a condition to their algorithm to check whether the air temperature is below 45 degrees.

hatless, I can assure you there is such a thing as “wind bake.” I’ve been to Death Valley in the summer. If you could be baked by the wind anywhere, that is the place.
