Miami, Florida, hit a record for 38 days with a heat index above 100 F. In fact, the NWS issued its first ever excessive heat advisory for Miami on July 17, 2023. El Paso, Texas, crushed their record of consecutive days with triple digit heat . Phoenix hit 110 degrees for a record-breaking 19th consecutive day on Tuesday. According to the Climate Prediction Center, the greatest chance for above normal temperatures the next two weeks is in the Plains, parts of the South, including South Florida, and the Southwest, meaning temperatures should stay hot, it’s just a matter of how hot it will get. August has always been hot, and this August could very well be a deal breaker for lots of AC units.
