    More 100-degree days scorch Texas, other states

    DALLAS (AP) — Sweltering summer temperatures in Dallas are expected to top 100 degrees for the 10th consecutive day as excessive heat warnings grip many central and southern states.

    The National Weather Service reported Monday that heat advisories are in place from Georgia to Illinois and back down to Oklahoma. Temperatures in those places may not reach 100 degrees, but the heat index could make it feel like triple digits.

    Texas has seen these summers before. Dallas hit the 100-degree mark for nearly three straight weeks as recently as 2006, and meteorologist Jesse Moore says the city isn't even technically under a heat advisory because the area is used to these temperatures.

    That's not the case in Cincinnati, where an excessive heat warning accompanies a possible heat index of 104 degrees.

      It's been over 100 degrees every day in the metropolitan Phoenix area since June 12th. What are they whining about in Texas?

        Phoenix....very lpw humidity. Try Eastern Washington or Oregon where it gets 100 with regularity with high humidity. Can't beat the Southwest US though. I talked to friend in Folsom,Louisiana and he said him and a bunch of other "lifers" from there have just about had it and are moving to Idaho. Too hot even for people born in Louisiana!!

      The ex-fuhrer George W. Bush lives in Dallas and he can burn in Hell for high treason and lying us into unnecessary, illegal, undeclared war in Iraq. In fact, why isn't George W. Bush in Iraq right now fixing the mess he created, donating blood, bandaging the wounded, burying what's left of the dead bodies the suicide bombers and murderers leave behind daily, fighting for their "democracy" he gave them, making speeches about purple thumbs, apologizing for displacing over 1 million Iraqi Christians, empowering Iran's Sh'ite militias that kill our volunteer soldiers he calls 'boys' over there, WHY, O' WHY WON'T SOMEBODY TELL ME PLEEEEEEEZ???!????/

      You wouldn't know it by reading these posts, but none of you have a clue about global warming. You don't have the time, education, equipment, data or analysis techniques necessary to make a judgment. All you have is someone else's opinion, which you are repeating because you hope it's true.

      The more interesting question to me is who are you listening to and why are you accepting their conclusion?
      • curtis 10 mths ago
        Some of us have most if not all of those things, who's opinion are you hoping is true?

    • Princess  •  10 mths ago
      Of course they just mention Dallas, when the bulk of the state of TX is hot and in dire need of rain.
    • Steve  •  10 mths ago
      Gosh, 100 in Texas! It's called "July."

    • not2bad  •  10 mths ago
      Maybe it's just hot because it's summer and July.

    • Karen  •  10 mths ago
      I would LOVE to live in Texas. I am from Michigan and I could easily deal with the heat for 3 months and then gorgeous weather for 9 months. We freeze for the majority ot the year and rarely hit 90 in the summer
