2026 4th of July Heatwave


 Share

Recommended Posts

It's the overnight temps that bake us. Down south 95/75 or more for months was the norm. But even down there when we had a stretch of night time lows over 80 with dews riding just below the temps it was considered kind of like a heatwave. 25 miles inland and east into central SC is BRUTAL this time of year with Colombia often being the highest temp in the country. I was inland SC when it was 110/87 back in 2012. I mean you couldn't freakin' breathe and I was used to the heat. No breeze at all in those parts lol. This will be good prep for my trip, although I have lived up here long enough that what use to be normal heat for me is pushing it. The big cities in the East are in for it I fear.

It's unfortunate that the ridge center trended east over the past several days.

We could have had a shot at 100 locally with it better positioned further west, and we also likely would have prolonged the heat wave as well prior to ROF potential.

Maybe another shot sometime in July or August, still plenty of summer left.

Lucky! At least you get to cool down to 58 every night.
 

Further south here it won’t dip below 75 at  night this whole week. 

With more heavy rain moving through the area tonight, it's going to be soaked ground with high heat tomorrow. I'm not buying 58 now. Probably 60's. Still not as bad as down there, but I don't have A/C either. Just a fan. Going to be toughing it out like usual.

Apparently the ole temp sensor in the backyard station needs some work. It’s warm, but 90/81/108 at 10:55am seems a touch extreme

Seems to be cooking about 4-5 degrees too warm. And after my kids played "spray dads weather station with the hose" we are setting backyard records left and right. 

Can you even get a temp sensor anymore for a vantage vue? I've had the thing for 15+ years.
