It's happening across the midwest as well. It's supposed to hit 102 on Monday in Nebraska.
It's een hotter here in NW Ohio than in Houston all week.
Southwest Ohio too. By like, 20 degrees fahrenheit more than Texas. It's been in the mid/upper 90s for about a week and it's not even in the typically hotter months (august/september) yet!!
Over 100° is not unusual for the Midwest. Although not usuall until late July into August.
The issue will be if these temps become standard and consistent over a wider time period. For one, that could adversely affect crop growth and development.
