Dangerous Heat the Rest of the Week

Heat indexes will approach 120 the rest of this week for the western half of the state and 115 for the eastern half. Don't try to overdo it outside and keep a check on the elderly and pets. By early next week, however, rain chances return and some slightly cooler temps and maybe a decrease in humidity. It is August, though, so it's not a permanent cool down but I'll take whatever I can get.

For those interested that have Facebook, there is now another way you can support our team that costs you nothing. Facebook has a program where select groups get paid royalties based on site activity and interactions. Things such as liking, commenting, and sharing our posts gives us a kickback from Zuckerberg's wallet. I honestly don't know if liking and following our page counts or not, but you're certainly more than welcome to do that, too, as we're pushing to to go over 82,000 followers.

Times like this wish we had a larger indoor practice facility for football. I have never understood why MS starts school in early August and paid ac bills for the hottest month of the school year. My last 11 years of my working career was a Middle School teacher and August was brutal. Prayers to the teachers, students & athletes in all ways.

Not trying to detail this thread but from someone educated in weather patterns is this normal? I vaguely remember it getting this hot probably 12 years ago.

Here's a link to all of our sites just to have them in one place.

120 heat indexes aren't your average summer here, but the air temps of 95-100 are typical. The hottest air temp ever recorded in Starkville was 111 back in either 1930 or 1935. I don't have the numbers in front of me but around 60% of our record highs (for Starkville) occurred in the dust bowl era and then the summer of 1980. 1930, 1935, and 1980 were all brutal summers.

Finally got tolerable up here in north Tennessee again. It was bad like Mississippi for a while but the past week we've been in high 80's with less humidity.

BTW, your Patreon site has been great with the content lately.

You're right on the edge of the answer, but majority of our state and the posters on this board would call me a communist for saying more.

been here 44 summers now.

Worst was 2011 with the Biblical drought
Summer i moved here in 1980 was #2
think this summer will end up being #3 worst.

i am ready to retire to Colorado...will take some cold any day!!

I”m in the purple (Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren ) territory........it’s awful......rather have old arkansas DOG game weather.......

This is extremely difficult for millions to understand apparently.

But not for over 90% of the scientists that actually study these things. 🙄😬😏

yea, especially the al gore type scientists...........these same people also want to prevent you from using a gas stove in the kitchen and tell you how bad a combustion engine is compared to battery power. It's really quite humorous. the cow fart people

Lol. You are waaaayyy off base. When I was in elementary school, these same "scientists" that you believe tried to convince us that another ice age was coming.

The fact is that the climate is changing. It will change. And it will change back.

why are the homes along the east coast so popular if they are going to be underwater in 5 years? just follow the money folks........
