2026 4th of July Heatwave


 Share

Recommended Posts

93 the highest I've recorded with an index of 102 so thats kinda normal. Usually get some of those a few times a summer. We had solid broken CU field until noon so that helped slow them down a bit today. Overnight lows in the upper 70's to 80 is the killer. Surprisingly, until this afternoon we've had decent afternoon breezes also.

Definitely a lame heat wave for the DVN area by our standards.  Only low 90s so far during this stretch, and dews haven't even officially hit 80.  This is weak sauce.

Your corn dewpoints penetrated into MBY in Michigan for a more extended period than usual.  Never hit 80, but had a good long stretch of 75+.

Could get 89d today. Pretty average heat-wave overall. 

 

The balmy overnight lows and the record high min were the most noteworthy parts of the stretch. 

True but I'll take the florida climo over the dry death ridge

It was a solid (not to mention gross & uncomfortable) heatwave for sure but definitely fell short of hype locally. Which i knew would happen and called it last week in a local weather chat im on.

One of the local mets said he sees "nothing" that would indicate we fall short of 100 on back to back days (Wed/Thu). They also hyped 110+ heat indexes. 

The reality? DTW highs were 94, 97, 96 (likely low 90s today). Max heat index was on July 1st at 105. Max dewpoint was 76, also on the 1st. No record highs were set but the record high min of 76 was tied on the 2nd.
