My daughter had sent me the 10 day forecast for Waco. A comfortable 99 is the lowest projected day. Next 4 all show 105.

Relative humidity, what most people refer to when they're discussing humidity in a percentage, goes down as it gets hotter.

Several couples are going to the races at Lone Star Park on Sunday - last day of thoroughbred racing. I really feel sorry for the poor horses.

True. When people try to slough off the desert 115+ heat by saying it's a "dry" heat, I always laugh. A dry 115 and a humid 95 are just as miserable.

That being said, some places along the Persian Gulf have had temps above 100 with dew points in the 90s. One city had a heat index of 178.

Do you know what city that was? I spent a summer in Kuwait City and it was like being on another planet.

Officially 108 for the record

566 SXUS74 KFWD 200034 RERDFW RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 733 PM CDT THU JUL 19 2018 ...RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE SET AT DALLAS FORT WORTH... A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 108 DEGREES WAS SET AT DALLAS FORT WORTH TODAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 107 SET IN 1925. $$


But that is nothing, tomorrow and/or Saturday could be 110+ pushing towards All-time record high temp for Dallas.

I'll need a high quality haul of Vermont beers from you. Otherwise, I might perish in this heat without that to look forward too
