"Since June 12, Austin-Travis County EMS paramedics have responded to 37 heat emergencies. Included in the elevated response data for heat emergencies [were] construction workers, patients with pre-existing conditions including pregnancy, also several very young patients."
Meanwhile, the forecast is for more of the same through the July 4 weekend. And probably thereafter.
UPDATE: Thursday’s highs at Camp Mabry and the airport were records: 106 at Mabry, 107 at ABIA. The LCRA’s Bob Rose says those were the second hottest June days in recorded Austin history, which I might add only goes back to the 1840s or so.
The warmists will say this is Global Warming. That’s what they say when it’s freezing, too. And, probably, when there’s a big sale on at Fry’s. Nevertheless, with the ground thoroughly heated after weeks of this, we can expect plenty more records ahead.
