The heat index inside Cape Hatteras this morning was off the chart that the National Park service uses, causing the tower to be closed for the day
Cape Hatteras Closed to Climbers The heat index will have to drop below 100' before the tower is re-opened. The forecast is showing it to be above 100' through Friday.
What was it in your neighborhood today? Richmond, VA - real temperature - 103'; heat index -115' with much the same tomorrow.
Did we have heat indexes when I was a kid? :roll: I don't remember those. I also don't remember it being this hot.
Now if you had asked me about last Friday, Saturday and Sunday...HOT HOT HOT near 100 every day. I think the East is getting some of the weather we had last week, with the exception that your humidity levels are always higher.
