OKLAHOMA CITY—The summer of 2023 may be drawing to a close—but the extreme heat is not: More record-shattering temperatures—this time across Texas—are expected Saturday and Sunday as the US continues to bake. Highs of 109 degrees Fahrenheit (42.8 degrees Celsius) forecast for Saturday and 110 F (43.3 C) on Sunday…
People cool off under a waterfall on a cloudy day with temperatures in the high 80s and intermittent rain storms, during a respite from an ongoing heat wave, at the aquifer-fed Venetian Pool in Coral Gables, Fla., July 27, 2023. Record setting temperatures are expected Saturday, Aug. 19, across Texas as the southwestern US continues to bake during a scorching summer.
The entire globe has simmered to record heat both in June and July. And if that’s not enough, smoke from wildfires, floods and droughts have caused problems globally. Meanwhile, in Waco, about 90 miles south of Dallas, there has been no rainfall for a record-tying 49 straight days, since only a trace amount on July 1.
An excessive heat warning is in place from south Texas, western Louisiana across eastern Oklahoma, eastern Kansas and all of Missouri. Excessive heat warnings were also issued for parts of Arkansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois and Iowa. Megan Williams, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Slidell, said residents through Sunday could expect heat index values—or what outside feels like—between 108 to 113 F —and in some cases greater than 113 F.

US southwest on high alert as Hurricane Hilary climbs Mexico coastCABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico: States across the typically arid US southwest were racing Saturday to prepare for life-threatening flooding forecast as Hurricane Hilary approaches from Mexico, where damage and one death were reported.A Saturday night bulletin from the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Hilary's winds had significantly weakened but were still sustained at a hazardous 90 miles per hour (145 kilometers per hour) with higher gusts.On the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, that would put the storm at a Category 1, down from its Category 4 peak.The storm's center 'will move close to the west-central coast of the Baja California Peninsula' Saturday night and Sunday Morning, the NHC said, and 'then move across southern California Sunday afternoon.''Heavy rains' were affecting portions of Baja California and the southwestern United States, with 'catastrophic and life-threatening flooding likely.'The storm is expected to weaken into a tropical storm before reaching southern California and southern Nevada, with heavy rainfall and flooding still possible.Mexico's Civil Protection agency said in a statement Saturday that river and stream levels had risen significantly in Loreto and Mulege on Baja California's east coast, which was also hit by landslides and road closures.It added that one person had died after a vehicle was swept away by a stream in Mulege.Residents and workers in the Mexican tourist resort of Cabo San Lucas have put up protective boarding and laid thousands of sandbags as large waves crash ashore.Military personnel were seen patrolling the beach in the city, a popular destination for both Mexican and foreign tourists at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.'We took all the precautionary measures last night,' Omar Olvera told AFP on Saturday at the Cabo San Lucas beachfront restaurant where he works.With sandbags piled protectively around the restaurant, he said, 'We're just looking out for the workers and waiting for the weather to come.
