May 15 (Reuters) – Big lines of central and southern Texas appeared on Thursday on Thursday under a record spring thermal wave, because forecasts warned the inhabitants of the region to remain hydrated and reduce strenuous outdoor activities.
The National Meteorological Service published heat councils across 15 Texas districts, which stretched from the country of Rio Grande and Texas Hill to the Gulf of Mexico, where temperatures rose by 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (8 to 11 degrees Celsius) above normal 90.
The central Texas area involving San Antonio and the capital of Austin was expected to see the heat index values - the degree of warm at air temperatures and relative humidity together – running up to 109 degrees F (42.7 ° C).
It was assumed that the thermal index reached 110 F in the Laredo border town on Rio Grande and in 112 F (44.4 ° C) in the Alice hub inland, from Corpus Christi.
Houston was expected to feel almost brisk compared to the maximum thermal index expected at 101 F.
The open air temperature of 100 degrees recorded on Wednesday at the Austin-Bergstrom airport meant historically the maximum for this day, and the prognostics said that Thursday’s daily record, in 2003, is expected to break.
The meteorological service said that more than at the weekend and at the beginning of next week there was more high temperature and humidity in the shop, and on Friday the ridge is expected to be a ridge on Friday.
Although no one -time weather event can easily be attributed to global warming, scientists generally agree that episodes of undue high temperatures become more frequent, prolonged and more pronounced as a result of climate change.
In order to avoid exhaustion of heat or decline, the inhabitants were invited to avoid excessive occurrence outside, launched air conditioning inside, drinking a lot of fluids, and carrying light clothes. Torrid weather in Texas was part of a larger dome of the above -average heat building on large sections of the US from the middle and southern plains east to the Atlantic coast, Florida, according to forecasts.
