Corpus Christi Weather Advisory - Extreme Heat

The last few days Corpus Christi has experienced severe heat. The temperature has felt like 110 degrees and the outlook for the next several days is extreme heat. The heat index will continue to be over 100 degrees for the month of August.

Today you can expect it to feel like 104 degrees outside. If you expect to stay outdoors for several hours, be sure to drink plenty of water several hours before an extended stay outdoors.

The weekend heat index is looking like it will feel like 106 degrees outside. not a very pleasant summer in Corpus Christi, but what else would we expect.

There is a small opportunity or possibility for a late night thunderstorm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Don't get your hopes up though, I bet we don't see a single drop of rain.

One thing I can't understand though is why places in California, in the southern part of the state has high temps in the 70's, while we continue to bake on a daily basis. Why are some southern parts of states cooler than others?

Like I said the month of August will continue to get hotter. We won't see a cooling trend till September 11th, when we will start seeing temps in the upper 80"s.

Stay cool and keep us as your go to weather website. In the coming weeks we will start a cool contest where you will have chances to win cool prizes like iPads, iMac's and other Apple products.
