The high here today was 95*F, while the high at ATL was 94*F (tying the previous record back in 1936).
That make 96*F here and 95*F in ATL (which breaks the record).

Sea breeze may happen, but winds are not going to help ...It already hit 100 at my location at 2 PM, hotter than any day yet here by 1 F. It may still get a bit hotter being that there are only a few cumulus and the winds are still coming from the west, a hot direction that is still holding the seabreeze back. Furthermore, the west winds are a little stronger than they were yesterday at this time, which may delay the seabreeze. Also, dewpoints are about 5 cooler, which is actually making the heat index slightly cooler despite it being slightly hotter, but is helping it to warm more since it is drier air. Once I see the winds shift to SE (seabreeze), that will certainly start the cooldown.
Down to a whopping 101º, so there's no need for concern ...Assuming the 102 ends up the high (I'm not sure we know yet as it was 102 at the last hourly reading of 5 PM),
OUCH!
Temps are about 5 degrees behind where they were yesterday, interestingly enough.
They're only barely, if any, behind in my area but there are some things going the way of lower highs vs yesterday here:
1. Lighter winds vs yesterday (still from inland direction): may mean seabreeze will kick in sooner/further inland than yesterday
2. A thin cirrostratus cover now vs no cirrus yesterday
3. Dewpoints are a couple of degrees higher today. So the air is very slightly more moist.
That being said, noon readings are very hot at noon: the same at Hunter vs 24 hours ago (96) though are 2 F cooler at KSAV vs noon yesterday (95 vs 97). Both had highs of 101 yesterday.
I'm at 96.2. The highest I saw yesterday was 100.7 around 3 PM. Let's see how this plays out.
My weather station not accurate at all in this weather due to location.... it's hit 101 a couple of times but it's too close to my roof. I've been meaning to extend it out and upward to help with that but it's too dang hot!94 at the house probably will end up around 96/97 hottest day so far

More to the above: Bad news is that I already hit 100.0 at 1:20 PM and the cirrostratus is almost gone. But the good news is that it at least appears that the seabreeze may get here soon. We don't have that steady W to NW wind of yesterday at this time.
