HOT AND MORE HOT

So...we got this alert the other day on our phones:

ALERTHOUSTON

Heat Advisory for Houston Extended

Weather Information

The National Weather Service has extended a Heat Advisory until 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16.  Heat index values of 108 to 110 (with some isolated brief 110 to to 112 values) are possible.

According to the National Weather Service, heat indices of 108 will begin around 10 a.m. on the coast Friday and will be possible inland after 1 p.m. In the sun, temperatures will be higher. Overnight temperatures will only fall into the upper 70s inland, and to the mid 80s on the coast, so little relief will occur overnight.  Into the weekend areas will experience these heat index values.


Stay inside where it is cool and do not stay outside for extended periods of time. 


This was when I left the farm yesterday.  It was 97 and felt like 105.  Today as this posts we are at 100 and a "feels like" of 109.  

Tis the season of 'do as little as necessary' at the farm.  I was able to edge yesterday, more on that tomorrow.  It's just hot.  So very hot.

Stay cool and safe wherever you are!

  1. Our heat temperature as of right now is 104 and no breeze what so ever.
    Our temperatures for up coming week.
    It's so hot; my pet rock is sweating. Have no chickens but if we did, they would probably be laying hard boiled eggs.

    1. Yep, we got to 101 at the farm. It's 86 right now here in Houston at 11:20 and the 'feels like' is 96! At almost midnight. Sigh.
