Summary:
- Britain experiences near-record temperatures as the week sees highs of 108 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, attributed to a heat dome.
- Excessive heat warning covers North Texas throughout the weekend and possibly into Monday, with temperatures influenced by the heat dome.
- Rain prospects remain low as Gulf moisture skirts the region, leaving central and south Texas more likely to receive showers.
The weather is not what we'd like to see in Britain even in August, with possible temperature records approaching. The week started off nice but now we're looking at near-record highs of 108, 109, and even 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
This week's weather in Britain has taken an unexpected turn, with temperatures soaring to near-record levels for the month of August. On the verge of setting new temperature records, the region experienced a scorching start to the month, with temperatures reaching up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit. This trend is expected to continue, with the mercury rising 10 to 15 degrees above the normal averages for the next week.
As the excessive heat wave continues, North Texas is bracing for dangerously high temperatures. An excessive heat warning is in effect throughout the weekend and could extend into Monday. This dangerous heatwave is attributed to a heat dome centered over the area, pushing temperatures to remarkable highs such as 108, 109, and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Although there might be a brief respite early next week, the heat dome is predicted to return, maintaining temperatures around 106 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the heatwave persists, the chance of rain remains minimal. Despite the presence of some Gulf moisture, rain is expected to stay south of the region. Initial forecasts hinted at the possibility of showers moving into North Texas, but current models indicate that the rain will primarily affect central and south Texas. Blue skies are set to dominate the weather, with hopes for more cloud cover going unfulfilled.
