104 again here. At 7 AM, it was 89, with 71% humidity.
About 4:00 we had thunder, lighting and pouring rain for a bit, and it cooled down considerably. But, towns 3 miles away didn't get a drop.
This is Texas, though, and we're kinda used to the heat.
I think the sadist that invented the heat index is just trying to make people feel worse than they already do.
When you already feel like a fried egg, does it really matter if you are frying at 108 or 115?
