Feeling tropical
Days of record nighttime heat

Miami-like lows creeping northward into the North Carolina Outer Banks.
Miami-like lows creeping northward into the North Carolina Outer Banks.

The Southeast has been dealing with record-hot and humid daytime temperatures, but thermometers are barely dropping throughout the nighttime hours, also tying or breaking records. Nighttime in the Outer Banks will be feeling much like a familiar Florida metro area, just 710 miles away.

South Florida residents are no strangers to tropical temperatures lasting all hours, but the Southeast has been introduced to prolonged daytime and nighttime record heat this summer, with this next stretch lasting through the week, keeping air conditioners busy.

The TemperatureRadar shows warm orange hues, especially along the Southeast Coast, all the way into the Outer Banks. Our Weather & Radar app forecasts are detailing low temperatures barely making it out of the 80s, with hotter feels-like temps in the mid-80s, very similar to the Miami Metro area.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
