The news reported six heat related deaths last week, 9 for the year and 4 more deaths are expected to be ruled heat related in the next few days. Terrible.
The current record number of 100+ consecutive days is 42. The forecast for today is 108. This will be day 32 of 100+ temps with no relief forecast for the entire month.
