Good morning / afternoon folks.
In the upper 60's with a chance of T Storms later & another day in the high 80's
Another high temp but low humidity day yesterday, 89° but felt like 84°. Knocking on wood this trend continues.

Morning Borg

No chance of any rain here. I have a brief respite starting today, with temps cooling from the mid 80's to low 80s by Thursday.

Then I'll have the low 90's to look forward to (?) for Sunday/Monday.

Afternoon Bree. Happy PT

I'll be happy when it's done and dusted - with the number of machines I've got that's about 6 hours work at a minimum.

Yep, sounds pretty freakin warm for your area. Hopefully they set up cooling stations for the elderly & others.

Yes, something like that anyway. Our Met Office has issued an Amber alert which triggers healthcare actions....

Level 3: Amber — Heatwave action

Triggered when the Met Office confirms threshold temperatures for one of more regions have been reached for one day and the following night, and the forecast for the next day has a greater than 90% confidence level that the day threshold temperature will be met. This stage requires social and healthcare services to target specific actions at high-risk groups.

There's only one alert level higher than that - hope we don't see that one.
I don't think there's ever been a Red warning for heat (yet). A few rare ones in the past have all been for severe gales.

Level 4: Red — National Emergency
Reached when a heatwave is so severe and/or prolonged that its effects extend outside the health and social care system. At this level, illness and death may occur among the fit and healthy, and not just in high-risk groups.

Interesting, our heatwave warnings don't start rolling out until the mid 90's with heat indexes above 100°. But yeah, pretty sure you don't normally get that warm of weather in the summer. Usually that Atlantic current keeps things in check. But then it has been weird weather all over lately.

They have the warnings around here but for the most part life goes on, you see people working outside & such, they just tell them to stay hydrated.

I remember when I had to work outside, fun working in the sun with over 100° heat indexes, all while wearing full PPE. (I worked around highly toxic chems.)

Mornin', 76 sunny 'n muggy.
Red cloud party starts at4pm and last call is 8pm.
