Memphis and the Mid-South has been under a heat wave that seems to have no end in sight. Unfortunately, fall may not bring as much relief from the heat.

Memphis faces an Extreme Heat Warning from NWS with heat index up to 111, urging precautions against heat-related illness.

It’s the kind of heat that takes you back 45 years to memories of Memphis in the summer of 1980. That July, the city hit 100 degrees or hotter for 15 days in a row. Memphis' hottest temperature ever recorded was 108 degrees.

Dangerous heat peaked today for millions in the central United States as a heat dome in summer’s hottest month lives up to its reputation — but sauna-like conditions are only just beginning for areas farther east.

Memphis is under an excessive heat warning in effect from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday with dangerously hot conditions and heat index values up to 110 degrees expected.

"Dangerous heat and humidity ramp up today. Heat indices of 105-110F will affect most of the Mid-South over the next few days," NWS Memphis said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Some areas may see a reprieve Friday-Sunday with increasing thunderstorm chances across north Mississippi, but the heat is likely to intensify next week."

Memphis is under an excessive heat warning in effect from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday with dangerously hot conditions and heat index values up to 110 degrees expected.

After a two-month break from triple-digit temperatures, extreme heat returns to Austin, with some rain expected to arrive by the weekend.

The South in July is always hot and humid, but Tennesseans get an extra does of heat with an incoming heat dome. What to know.
