Locally we experienced some above average temperatures through May and most of June. Some were higher than anything experienced in the last decade.
The last three days were a pleasant respite from the heat. That is about to come to an end.
Temperatures rising
Slow at first, by the start of the new week rising temperatures will become noticeable. Mid thirties celsius, mid nineties fahrenheit.
The feels like temperature should be topping off in the upper thirties celsius, slightly over 100 fahrenheit. (39 degrees Celsius = 312.15 degrees Kelvin)
Things may begin cooling down during the second week of July, but that's too far ahead to predict with any certainty
