Dangerous heat this evening
Dangerous heat is the main weather story in Howe this evening. The air temperature is 100, and it feels like 101. Skies are clear, relative humidity is 27%, and the dew point is 61. Wind is 11 mph, with gusts up to 13 mph.
That combination of hot air, limited cloud cover and a heat index above the actual temperature makes outdoor activity more taxing than the thermometer alone may suggest. Even without high humidity, the heat is strong enough to matter for anyone working, exercising or spending extended time outside.
