Heat

Nearly the entire eastern half of the country is under some sort of heat advisory or excessive heat warning. I don't think I've seen this in a while. Heat index values from Kansas City to DC will be in the 105-110F (40-43C) range. According to the NWS in Indianapolis, this is the warmest Indianapolis has been since September 2007.

Hottest Temperatures in nearly 3 years at Indianapolis

The high temperature at Indianapolis will reach the middle 90s today. This will be the hottest temperature for the Indianapolis area since September 5, 2007 when the temperature reached 96 degrees. Other high temperature milestones for the Indianapolis area:

Wouldn't you hate to have to work outside in this heat. Especially a job like road paving. Couldn't do it.
