Alabama Swelters Through Historic Heat | Birmingham News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

Alabama’s sweltering heatwave hit record highs yesterday, with Jackson topping out at 103 degrees and Tuscaloosa close behind at 102 — while Montgomery endured triple digits for a second straight day. Though it felt like the hottest day of summer, most historic records remained intact. The scorching temps aren’t cooling down anytime soon: expect above-average heat statewide this week, with northern areas seeing slightly cooler relief in the lower 90s — maybe even upper 80s in spots. South Alabama remains dangerously hot under an extreme heat warning, with Mobile and Baldwin counties bracing for mid-to-upper 90s that can be especially brutal on vulnerable populations. Temperatures are forecast to climb back into the 90s across the state by Wednesday and possibly Thursday — so hydration and caution are non-negotiable. This relentless heat is a stark reminder of our changing climate — stay informed, stay safe.
