Wensenday: 3:50pm, 106°F, feels like 115°F, humidity 30%, wind SSE @ 6mph, clear, sunny, not a cloud in the sky! By 5pm it will most likely hit 107°F with a heat index of 118°F.
Please, no 'sad' emojis, this is August, it's South Texas and this is not that unusual. Last year, it was 105°F on this day....will break that record by alot, today!

too funny! I'm in Texas, too, but I can't help but feel during the entirety of July and August. -been here all my life, but still detest the summer time. Now, I must say the winters are pretty good around here.

Likewise. I'm a Texan also. The summer humidity is what bothers me most.

I'll Amen that! Conceived, Born, Raised in Texas, lived all my life here except for a few short interruptions through the years, such as Alaska, various South and Central Pacific Islands...but the humidity has always been the worse of the weather here!

Didn't quite make 107°F, it kept flickering between 106°F and 107°F, just never was steady at 107°F, so 106°F is the new record high for this day! Oh well, there's aways tomorrow! BTW, it's still 101°F @ 7:30pm

Summer heat arrives in August, theatening to break all-time Australian winter temperature records​

Extraordinary August heat is developing across Australia, causing temperatures to spike up to 16 degrees Celsius above average while threatening all-time seasonal records in multiple states.

The unseasonable warmth is the result of a sudden contraction of cold fronts to Australia's south, which has allowed hot air to gradually build over the country's north and outback during the past week.

This warm winter air mass over the interior is now also spreading to south-east states — a pattern forecast to intensify into this weekend.

While the early winter thaw comes as a pleasant surprise for many, it has forced the ski season into a nosedive, leading to the lowest August snow depth in 18 years.

Temperatures to soar to record winter highs​

Winter temperature records are likely to be annihilated across the country's interior during the coming days.

Take Alice Springs as an example — the town has an August average maximum of 23C, but is forecast to exceed 32C for the next seven days.

Including Wednesday's 32.3C, that will make eight consecutive days above 32C, easily eclipsing the current winter records of five days from 2009 and six days from 1880.

The heat building across the interior is also being carried to south-east states in a warm north-westerly flow.

After Sydney climbed to 26C on Wednesday, 8C above normal for August and equal to the average in mid-summer, the city then slept through its 14th consecutive night above 10C, the longest streak of double digit winter minimums since 1967.

While temperatures are already feeling spring-like for our capitals, the warmest weather is still ahead, including forecasts of:

24C in Adelaide on Friday — 8C above average
22C in Melbourne on Saturday and Sunday — 7C above average
21C in Canberra on Saturday and Sunday — 8C above average and its warmest winter day in nine years
27C in Sydney on Wednesday — 9C above average
31C in Brisbane on Wednesday — 9C above average and warmest winter day in seven years

81° and mostly cloudy. At least now we are getting some lows in the upper 60's. Tomorrow the high is supposed to remain in the 80's. That's good for August without a rainy day causing it. We need more rain on the cotton, peanut, and corn fields that surround me here.
