Temperatures stay very hot this weekend, with highs in the upper 90s to 105° and heat index values of 101° to 107°. Remember to stay hydrated and to take frequent breaks in shaded or cooled areas!
Warm temperatures are expected to continue, with heat indices consistently in the 104-108 range. With minimal precipitation chances upcoming, this hot, dry pattern is expected to continue through much of next week.
While we are expecting possibly the warmest temperatures of the year this week, the average temperature peaks in early-mid August. The average temperature is now on a downward trend for the rest of the year. The average last 100 degree day is in late August for both DFW and Waco, with the latest ever 100 degree days being recorded in October for both sites.
Recognize heat related illness symptoms by knowing what happens to the body when exposed to extended periods of hot temperatures. Act fast and move to a cooler area and seek medical help if symptoms don't improve.
