A blistering, intense heatwave is pounding the South, offering states little relief as thousands are still without power after devastating storms. Temperatures have soared to record levels, keeping large swaths of southern U.S. in triple-digit temperatures and hitting a sweltering 114F (46 degrees Celsius) in some areas. On the final day of spring on Tuesday, the heat was already closer to the middle of summer in much of the Southern tier, forcing a warning to some 32 million in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico. The National Weather Service also issued a warning over the 'dangerous conditions'.

Are they blaming the weather on global warming yet? It does this every year.

I'm in Forr Worth, TX, and I've lived through this before - more summers than not in my 56 years. That said, It was 104° on my drive home yesterday, with a heat index of 115, and I passed a crime scene photographer taking pictures of a deceased homeless man in an alley off the road. I'm pretty sure he succumbed to the heat.

Temperatures in the Middle East can reach 140F every day and nobody is dropping over dead, whether dressed in a burka of in full Kevlar body armor.

Well, here in South Carolina, which is usually in the high 90’s with heat indexes over 100 every day by now, we haven’t even cracked 90 so far this year. In 2019, the temps were over 100 degrees every single day in May. It’s called “weather”.

Here in central North Carolina it’s not even going to reach 70 degrees today. In late June. The problem with narratives is they always leave out the inconvenient part of the story.

I hate heat indexes. It's a made up number used by those who want to sell you a solar panel. I noted on morning weather the guy had the heat index up instead of the real temperature. This is summer. It will be hot. Simple as that.

I appreciate that some folks are having issues but these are Brits reporting. They don't even have AC in most of the country and if their temps get into the 90's people start dropping over dead. Here in Upper Middle TN it is as my husband says "oppressively pleasant" with temps maybe getting to 80 today and blue skies. No complaints here. Humidity is up just because we have off and on rain in the forecast for the rest of the week (and it rained cats and dogs yesterday) but that is probably keeping our temps down. We have normally had whole weeks of 90's by now. I'll take this weather for the first day of Summer!!

Here in Virginia - just outside Northern Virginia - we actually had a real Spring for the first time in years. Days in the 70s and nights in the 50-60s with LOW humidity. BTW - when all those elderly French men and women died of heat because of that hot summer a few years back and their families and/or neighbors couldn't be bothered to check on them - I don't recall anyone blaming "climate change/global warming" or whatever.

Same as other posters noted, here in North Georgia, we have had a cool, rainy Spring. Very pleasant. We might have had one day near ninety but that was it. Lows 50-60, highs 70s to mid 80s.

From a British paper in a country that even in the dead of summer never reaches 80 degrees on the hottest of days. I guess temps of 100 plus seem downright impossible to imagine. It's no wonder they think it's the result of global warming/climate change.

While our pre-summer sweltering temps came on us this week in East Texas, we've had a very rare, rather lengthy Spring. Our "normal" Spring lasts only a week or two in late March or early April but this year we had moderate daytime temps and cool nights throughout May and into early June. For the first time in memory, I wore a light jacket the evening of Memorial Day.

The House Ways and Means Committee released bombshell new whistleblower testimony Thursday claiming that Hunter Biden failed to pay taxes on $8.3 million in income and the Department of Justice denied attempts to bring charges in other states. The testimony revealed that U.S. Attorney David Weiss - the Trump-era holdover who prosecuted the case against Hunter Biden - allegedly asked for special counsel status and was denied by the Department of Justice. Weiss also allegedly tried to bring charges against Hunter in Washington D.C. and California in the fall of 2022 and had that request denied in January 2023.

A new poll showed a third party candidate would siphon enough votes off Joe Biden to elect Donald Trump the next president of the United States should that scenario come to pass in the 2024 election. The numbers are stoking Democratic fears of a spoiler effect as polls continue to show voters would prefer another option to Biden. The nonpartisan group No Labels is looking at running a third-party candidate should Biden and Trump be their respective parties' nominee. Biden is expected to easily win the Democratic nomination and Trump, even with his legal issues, leads in polls on the GOP race.

The US Navy detected an acoustic signature consistent with an implosion on Sunday in the general area where the Titanic-bound submersible was diving when it lost communication with its mother ship, a senior Navy official told CNN. The Navy then immediately relayed that information to the on-scene commanders leading the search effort, and it was used to narrow down the area of the search, the official said. But the sound of the implosion was determined to be “not definitive,” the official said, and the multinational efforts to find the submersible continued as a search and rescue effort. “Any chance of saving a life is worth continuing the mission,” the official said.
