It’s hot, but it could be worse! 🥵🌡👙🌡
Hey Insiders! Meteorologist Troy Bridges here. You’ve heard a lot about the huge “Heat Dome” haven’t you?
It’s that big area of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere that is sinking on top of a large part of the central and western United States.
Actual temperatures have been at or above 110 degrees in Arizona and other western states for days! We’re not dealing with the heat dome, but we are getting used to our typical summer highs in the low and mid-90s. The average high temperature in Orlando is 92°. We have been close to that for the past couple of days.
