...Hot Weather Safety Will Be Important this July Fourth...

The Fourth of July in Middle Tennessee is typically hot and humid.

The climate record shows that the average high temperature in
Nashville on that day is 89 degrees. However it is not unusual for
the temperature to push well into the 90s and to even top 100
degrees. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Nashville on July
Fourth is 103, set in 2012. The very next year Nashville set its
record for the coolest July Fourth maximum temperature with a
high of 71. Approximately twenty-five percent of our climate
record includes a high of 93 degrees or higher on July Fourth.

The forecast high in Nashville for this July Fourth is 96
degrees, which is seven degrees above normal. The maximum
afternoon heat index values over much of Middle Tennessee on
Wednesday are forecast to be between 102 and 104 degrees. Even at
8 pm in the evening, the heat index in the Nashville area will
still be hovering in the middle 90s. Hot weather safety will be
of paramount importance, and you should take extra precautions if
you plan to work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule
strenuous activities to the early morning hours. Wear light
weight and loose fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty
of water. Take frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned
environments. Doing these few things will help limit the
possibility of heat related illness.

Your friends at the National Weather Service wish you a very happy
and safe Independence Day.
