And it doesn't look any better in the long range out your way unfortunately. I would hate to be working outside in that or almost doing anything. How much humidity do you have out there with this heat.

I can't speak for Texas today but up here we had a break today and it wasn't that bad actually but tomorrow and Wednesday yeah is gonna suck

It was so hot yesterday even with some sprinkles and dark clouds around lunch it still got to 105 and was the hottest day of the year so far. Tomorrow will eclipse that
 
Given the forecast of likely 100+ highs everyday the rest of the month I wouldn't be surprised to finish top 3 or 4. 1980 and 2011 are the kings of summer heat(over 40 days 100+ both years(Dallas had 70 in 2011....)FB_IMG_1658210064939.jpg

We've been on the edges of heat waves all Summer.. Not the worst, but still a lil more humid than I'd care for.

Your exactly right. That was my point. You would be history.

Native Americans lived all over this continent for hundreds and thousands of years prior to the invention of AC or electricity for fans, let alone other hot and humid continents.

They even lived in the deserts of Egypt, Levant, and Arabia for Thousands of years in worse heat. I think we can survive a few months.

It costs energy to stay warm ( food to metabolize , wood / gas to burn , and cloth ). Doesn’t cost a penny to stay out the heat.

I’m thinking more in a homeostasis type of thing . If you had no tech you would survive the heat but not the cold . The cold will always require energy to survive .

So this is an apocalypse thread now :D I was wondering what you meant there. But yeah, you can technically survive in the heat with little energy, but man, that would be hard to go back to. We had no AC growing up. You get used to it, but it aint the best.

I remember when some of the state dorms didn't have AC

I agree about the Native Americans. We have no complaints compared to them. I was just referring to what would be worse as mentioned in the above posts. 48 hours with no power in a heat wave of temps over a hundred or below zero for 48 hours. I think the heat would be worse just my opinion, and I have survived for 39 years in these NC summers with or without power and Lord willing I hope to survive for many more.

Several at ECU also did not have AC, but by the 90's they almost all had window units....I fail to see how anyone can live in large apartment buildings in the kind of heat we are seeing in the mid west or probably more impactful UK etc.....at least the folks in the mid west are sorta kind use to big heatwaves.....the folks in the UK are roasting and have no real point of reference to how hellish the nights are without AC.

Going to be interesting to see if the Euro and gfs are once again way too hot at 850 and 2m. New euro has 25c 850s from clt to gso Saturday and Sunday

Op gfs would be a heatwave for the record books around here at least a week straight near or over 100. We are likely to have some very hot days mixed in here over the next 7-10 days but you have to think the cmc and icon are a little more realistic with the hottest days being near 100 but the majority of days 92-97

Looks like Coastal storms Have fired up along the (immediate) Sea breeze Front on the Coast Proper..
Rain Thunder/Lighting ATM, Typical Summer time stuff..
Speaking about (AC),, grew up around Ft. Bragg (Fayettnam), and We didn't have AC in the Summer..
IN Addition..

When I was *married* with 2 young Daughters, We didn't have "AC" in our "trailer" Tin Cracker Box it was.. We Mostly lived/Stayed, at the Beach, or the N E. .. cape fear Public Landings cooling off.. Though I Did have..A Shop sized , Shop fan in My Tin box..

Now Older, , It would be brutal too me..
 
Amusing.. Wet T-shirt contest of Ladies waking down the Surf City, On Web Cam, on the pier ATM.. ? ;)

I'll bet my last dollar this is way overdone like usual. Mid 90's the highest, but I doubt the temps will be this bad. GFS is also the only model showing temps THAT extreme. The EURO is hot for a couple of days, but both of them seem to overdo the heat way too often.
 
It's hot but the humidity definitely isn't as bad as I feared. I still think our heat peak so far was in June when it first got hot and the heat index was 114-115. Also the models were too aggressive here at one point they had us approaching all time highs today and we're not even close

Today's record of 108*F (last set in 2018) has been broken. Currently 109*F at DFW.

Now we see if the elusive 110*F+ high can happen...

EDIT: Oh, and another record maximum low was tied this morning (84*F).

Yeah. There both bad. I know man. It's tough to get those big snows in the upstate. I'm almost right there with you most of the time. I've been on the losing side more than not in the winter. I'm 12 miles north of Chesnee off 221 in Rutherford county. It's amazing what those 12 miles can do in the elevation department. I remember playing in a basketball tournament in Jan of 03 in Peach Valley just south of Chesnee and it started snowing that evening and we had a good inch or two on the ground at the house and I thought they would cancel but they didn't and I get down there and you could barely tell there might of been a dusting in shady areas and it had all turned to rain down there. When I leave to go home once I get back into NC over the state line the roads are snow covered and there is about 6 inches on the ground once I got home. Crazy what those 12 miles will do going north. If I go just a little farther north it's like double what I get. I remember that January 2000 snow real good. It was a big one for us also. I got 11 inches out of that one. For you to get 7.8 inches all the way down to Newberry SC that was a huge one down there to. Probably the last time that has happened down there in 22 years I would imagine. Where we're you in the 93 blizzard and how much do you get? I heard there was a sharp cutoff on the accumulations once you got into SC during the blizzard.

I was in Newberry during March 93. I do remember it being wind driven snow and was awesome to see. But it rained most of the event and switched over at the end. Just off memory probably 3-4 inches is all we had there. GSP had 9.3 I believe out of it.

...New Long Term...

There`s been a noteworthy shift in the ensemble data from the
GEFS, GEM, and ECMWF toward a wetter and "cooler" Thursday
forecast. A convectively induced vort max is forecast to move into
the region from the northwest and produce a round of elevated
convection late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The CAMs
that comprise the HREF are most aggressive with rain chances and
cloud cover into midday Thursday. Needless to say uncertainty in
the temperature forecast is high, because without the convection
we will easily top 105 degrees for highs again. On the flip side
there are CAM solutions that hold parts of North Texas in the mid
to upper 80s for highs due to abundant cloud cover and rain cooled
air/outflows. For the official forecast did advertise a break in
the 100 degree heat for North and Northeast Texas with a slight
chance of rain and partly to mostly cloudy skies. We`ll see if the
HREF can hold onto these higher rain chances for another run
before we start forecasting better chances of rain in the midst of
our dry streak. Across Central Texas, the prospects for rain are
lower with the track of the disturbance a bit too far to the
northeast. Therefore the temperature forecast is a little more
certain in that another round of 100 to 105 degree heat is likely.

Yeah our met is talking about the Euro next week too... Said it could be Christmas in July if it verifies.
 
Yet another record maximum low tied this morning at DFW (82*F, previously set in 1954).
