Did the summer heat peak where you live yet? I’m a meteorologist in Southwest Florida. And let’s see if you’re on that down slope of the summer heat. On average, we reach the hottest summer temperatures July 24th and July 25th before we start to see those temperatures go down some. This map by Brian Brett Schneider tells us which areas across the United States have already reached that peak summer temperature midpoint and those areas that have yet to reach the peak summer heat. So with that being said, if you are in the blue, the purple or the red areas on this map, you have yet to hit that peak of summer heat just yet.
Most all of Texas, most all of Florida looking at you now, if you’re watching and you’re in the orange, the yellow, the green shaded areas on this map, well, congratulations. You’re on the other side of summer. You’ve already reached this peak hot temperatures of summer. Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska. I’m looking at you little jealous. And if you’re watching from Florida, you know the drilling and it’s hot all the time. But we reach that peak heating after August 5th and well after in some spots. In fact, we stay into the low 90s up until about the end of September member on average. So we have a little bit of time.
