Tampa FL hits 100F for the first time ever today!

[Eastside Get The Money]

It says 99 degrees was the record. I'm assuming they had hundreds of days of 98, 99 degrees.

Nope. Tampa has only hit 99°F three times in recorded history.

That's crazy.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Finna be 104 next Tuesday in Houston

with those icebergs melting why isn't it feeling cooler?

 

[Chrishaune]

I was outside this morning trying to work on my truck. Had to pack it up and come back inside. I'll get out there earlier tomorrow. Not even in Florida.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

That humidity is what makes it a big deal. Went to Arizona a few years back, I felt fine in 100 degrees because it wasn't humid. Just got to stay out the sun

Water too..big bodies of water regulate temperatures really well.

It's why you can have -50F temps in winter in North Dakota but it can be well over 100 in summer on a random day.

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

No worries this is just normal earth processes. Normal cyclical event they tell us. Do your own research they say.

 

[JNew]

that's weird. It's hit 100+ in NYC before but not Tampa?

Really, even here in Wisconsin we get few 100+ degree weather.

 

[Canon]

Yeah it’s a sauna out here right now

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Florida is surrounded by water so it’s breezy but still humid af


Tampa hitting a record in heat is not good news to me though.

Coli AI Overlord:

“The link between hotter summers and hurricanes

While hotter summers and warmer oceans do not necessarily lead to more hurricanes forming, they are strongly linked to the development of stronger, more intense hurricanes with higher wind speeds and significantly heavier rainfall.“

[DaPresident]

DMV area feel like a sauna and has been for the last 3-4 days…should be over by midweek this week

 

[DonB90]

OP when you and the rest of your horde of Northerners moved down to Florida they destroyed alot of trees, grass, and natural waterways that absorbed the heat and paved over them with asphalt. This is the result of that.

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

I’m no scientist by far but I think it might be because Tampa bay is so large it provides a barrier with the ocean that keeps it at lower temps than places directly on the gulf or ocean.

It's the extra sun melting the icebergs...the water that it becomes gets heated also.

 

[Ironman]

Can't even imagine with the humidity and heat index


Even in Minnesota it's hot af

It gets like that in Minnesota?!
