Northern Gulf Coast air temps

[Aquawind]

Why can't we get in on this heat? So far its been about average to slightly below average, 84-86ish. Quite pleasant out. I really want it to get HOT out so it'll feel more like summer.

You are a sick, sick person.

He's right though.. It has been awesome pleasant..even with the recent 90's down here in sw florida and interior the dewpoints aren't as nasty as usual and the breeze continues to blow..Summer is plain Sick down here..
Please no paybacks mother nature...

Just a friendly reminder to those of you who are baking in the hot temps along the coast to check on your elderly family and neighbors!

That's so true - also get plenty of water and seek out air-conditioning. Also, don't forget about our animal friends. They need a break from the heat as well along with plenty of water. Goodness, the hypnotizing hum of airconditioners!!

Today was the hottest May 23rd on record here in Southeast Louisiana. I believe N.O. had 96. 96 here as well. Both records....

[BayouVenteux]

N.O.'s Audubon Park is consistently among the hottest reporting stations in the region anytime we endure a heat wave.

That old reggae chestnut by Third World keeps running through my head:

"Nine-ty Six De-grees / In da sha-a-a-de! / Real hot! / In da sha-a-a-de!"

It was 98 / 108 HI here today (just miserable) and will get worse for us all!!!

I know the Louisiana contingent is reporting 90's, and we're heating up
a lot today as well - 92.1 with 102.9 heat index.

Those SST's are gonna rise fast at this rate.

Was at Dauphin Island on Saturday (5/21) and the water at the shoreline was already as warm as it usually takes it to get in early August!!

In the summertime, it is always hotter in downtown Pensacola. My Dad called to check the weather yesterday and they said it was 105 degrees in downtown Pensacola yesterday! The official site is at the airport though.

Being a animal lover, I got quite upset yesterday. Somebody left a chocolate Lab in a cage in the bed of his truck. While he worked out at the gym. His water bowl was empty and temps were in the 90's yesterday with clear skies.

That's just wrong. No need to leave the dog in the truck, especially without water in this heat!
