Compared to the last heat wave that we experienced to begin the month, humidity this time around isn’t as extreme. As a result, the heat index values aren’t forecast to be nearly as high.
Instead of heat indices of 100 possible, we’ll top out around 100. It will be hot and uncomfortable, but it won’t be as bad as last time.
