help me understand why we re in such pain. when you picture summer, what do you think of? cape cod. beaches, going to the pool. our vision of summer is changing because in the southern half of the country, you can t be outdoors in the middle of the day. you have to plan your day, do stuff in the morning or late in the day. in the middle of the day you re inside in the air conditioning. hopefully you have it, cross your fingers. that s the case from texas all the way through the southwest. a picture of a playground in arizona, southern california, no one is at them at this time of day. 110 in phoenix, 14th day in the record. el paso, your record was 23. you re somewhere in the 30s. del rio at 104. a lot of these locations on pace for their hottest summer ever recorded. this heat dome, big high pressure sinking air, pushing down on you, that s where we get the extreme heat, it expands this weekend and actually gets
and some thick fog around as well. we have been getting fog for quite a few days now, big high pressure sitting on top of us with light winds and that is the perfect meteorological situation set up for fog to form. you can see how big the high pressure is, notjust in the uk but stretching right across the continent. weather fronts are lining up continent. weather fronts are lining up in the atlantic, they adjust to west of our neighbourhood, they are approaching. that means tomorrow there will be a few splits and spots of rain brought by these weather fronts. you can see them in the atlantic, there still some mild away. here is the fog across some parts of the country, central england as well. visibility over the next few hours, 50 100 metres, really quite dense, it is freezing fog as well, frosty, slippy, on the roads, take it steady. other than that, lots of sunshine developing through the morning and into the afternoon. i don t think it will be clear blue skies everywhere, there
are at 125 miles per hour, correct me if i m wrong, but that s different, of course, than the speed it is traveling. and so the hurricane i mean, its winds are picking up and accelerating. but is it slowing down? yeah. we predict a little bit of a slowdown. a lot of times what happens is when you move forward and you make that turn, you get resistance. there s a big high pressure here. and what happens is when the hurricane hits that, it s a little bit of a resistance. when they make this turn, often they start to slow down. so the closer these points are together, the slower the movement. we do expect it to pick up with time. so speed is incredibly important. not just the wind speed that you feel, but the forward motion. that has a lot to do with how much rain you get. the slower the storm, the more the rain. thank you very much for giving us all the information that floridians and all of us need to know this morning. we ll check back with you. you bet. all right. we have ne
