Scientists worry about the coral in that warmed-up water. “They start running, but it doesn't matter how fast you run, you need to get them in the water.” “It's funny to watch the new people and the tourists get about halfway out and realize their feet are getting scorched,” Stoutt said. Death Valley should see highs of 120 to 125 by the end of the week, and possibly a highly unusual 130.Īt Hollywood Beach, south of Fort Lauderdale, Monday's 91 degrees were about average and Glenn Stoutt said the breeze made him fine to do lunges with a 15-pound weighted ball and calisthenics - though he wore shoes on the blazing sand. Southwest, including Arizona, New Mexico and southeast California, Orrison said. Air temperatures of 110 are forecast for the U.S. Not only will it stick around for a while as weather patterns seem stuck - a sign of climate change, some scientists contend - “it may actually tend to get a little bit worse,” Orrison said, with extra heat and humidity that has NOAA forecasting a heat index around 110 by weekend. The heat dome that baked Texas and Mexico for much of the early summer has oozed its way to Florida with sunshine, little to no cooling clouds or rain, but humidity worsened by the hot oceans, Orrison and McNoldy said. Because the water is so warm, the air in Florida gets more humid and “that's making things tougher or more oppressive for people who are going to be out and about,” he said. Water temperatures across the Gulf of Mexico and Southwest Atlantic are 4 to 5 degrees (2 to 3 degrees Celsius) warmer than normal, Orrison said. He said his 95-degree pool doesn't cool him - it just leaves him wet. While the 95- and 96-degree readings were in shallow waters, "the water temperatures are 90 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit around much of Florida, which is extremely warm," said University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. "The water is so warm you really can't cool off." “That's incredible,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Orrison.
