Autumn is here and we are experiencing some very comfortable temperatures. We have heard zero complaints.
But we (must) (should) (sorta) keep in mind that we can have some scorching heat in September. The subject of this story is the historic heat of September, 1925, only to come back again in September, 1927 for a repeat [...]

Temperatures at the Minnesota Vikings training camp in Mankato, Minnesota were in the 90s and humidities were very high during the first week of August 2001 The heat and humidity were combining to create stifling conditions with heat indices in the 110 degree range.

The high temperature of 115 this afternoon in Buffalo, Okla., is the hottest temperature recorded anywhere in Oklahoma in 13 years!
Buffalo is in far NW Oklahoma (but still not in the Panhandle) at the junction of US 64 and US 183.
It was also a windy afternoon.
We hope that is not a bad omen for the [...]

Consider these late afternoon temperatures that were accompanied by strong south winds gusting between 30-40 mph in many areas. Not exactly like standing in the door of a blast furnace, but this will dehydrate you in a hurry.
I stopped for gasoline once on U.S. 66 in the Texas Panhandle east of Amarillo. Temperature was 105 [...]

Not this year. We have been lucky, although it is heating up somewhat now.

….16 of the 31 record highs at Birmingham for the month of May occurred in 1962.
….The high was [...]
