From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas is trapped under a \u201cheat dome\u201d that is expected to bring more record highs and strain the power grid. As the heatwave expands through parts of Kansas, <\/em>Oklahoma<\/em><\/a> and all the way across the Gulf coast, tens of millions are facing excessive heat warnings.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houston, the largest city in <\/em>Texas<\/em><\/a>, hit a high of 100F (38C) today, and officials are expecting daily high temperatures in Austin to remain above 100F for the next several days.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The temperature reached 99F at Houston\u2019s airport this week, but such temperatures are commonplace there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houston is of course massively affected by UHI. Danevang is a tiny community 115km south of Houston, and temperatures there reached 99F during the week. But temperatures get over 100F there most years. Clearly the heat was at its most intense between the start of the record in 1896 and the 1960s:<\/p>\n\n\n
