By Allison Chinchar,

(CNN)Heat alerts are in effect from California to Alabama as high temperatures will be 10-15 degrees above average on Sunday.

Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Tucson will all see high temperatures of at least 110 degrees, and all three are likely to tie or break their daily record high temperatures. In Texas, cities including Dallas, San Antonio, and Lubbock will all exceed 100 degrees.

Cities in the New England are also under a heat advisory including Boston and Providence where a heat index of up to 96 degrees is anticipated.


Heat records possible Sunday and Monday

Other hot locations include Orlando, Montgomery, Alabama, and Columbia, South Carolina, which will at hit a high temperature of at least 95 degrees Sunday. But those locations will not be under a heat advisory because the National Weather Service (NWS) uses different criteria for heat advisories in different parts of the country. If the forecast calls for a heat index of 105 degrees in Dallas or Atlanta, the NWS will issue a heat advisory, but that's not high enough for San Antonio, which needs a heat index of at least 108 degrees or Columbia, South Carolina, which needs at least 110 degrees before heat advisories are issued.

3. I feel so lucky we made the move when we did in mid January

we left the humid summer furnace of Raleigh, headed 4 hours west, and are at 2500 feet with lovely summer days and cool mornings - mostly we get to between 82-84, mornings are around 60-62, reasonable humidity, most often a lovely breeze. After 28 years roasting in Raleigh, it is heaven!

4. Not out of the ordinary for the Mojave and Sonoran deserts

As much boastfulness there is about record heat, the days of 'below average' temperatures are mostly forgotten, and there's been plenty of that.

5. On the FL west coast the temperature/humidity index shows 107 degrees. It's oppressive.

I call it the Heat Belt, not the Sun Belt. It brings out some nutty, destructive behavior.

6. Interesting info about heat advisories/excessive heat warnings.

Laredo only has a heat advisory: Heat index 114
San Antonio has excessive heat warning: Heat index 108

8. Man...brutal yesterday in Wichita. Heat index of 119-120

That's what happens when it's 99 degrees (at my house) and the humidity is damn near 50%. It's better today, mowed the yard and didn't die.

10. Best advice I can give dealing with midwest heat...

To people not used to it...Get out in it...put on a headband to keep the sweat under control...

Drink plenty of water...Worked at wichita airbus for awhile...and the British engineers were

having a time with the humidity and heat...Suggested a few walks in the park..acclimate

themselves because the first time you have to change a tire, it could make you sick...

9. If we don't look at the thermometers it won't be hot.

[warmfeet]

11. Of course,

global warming is not real, a Chinese hoax, just like the Sars-Cov-2 virus.

Oh wait, the virus was engineered in a Chinese lab per the asshole, um, I mean pos (we are divided currently, not united).

This is all per our current liar in chief.

Just believe the liar, things are much simpler that way.



Hope this shit is done soon. Not sure how much more I can take.

We have multiple crises, we are addressing not one of them.
