Tampa Hits 100 Degrees For The First Time In Recorded History

  • On Sunday, Tampa International Airport recorded its first ever 100°F reading, marking an all-time high since records began in 1890.
  • Meteorologist Nash Rhodes attributed the heat dome to a stalled high-pressure ridge and lack of rain, fueling record temperatures on Sunday.
  • Several locations across the viewing area set new record highs, with heat index values soaring to 108°F or higher each afternoon, including Brooksville's 99°F, Winter Haven's 98°F, and Ruskin's 98°F.
  • Despite stable admissions, Dr. Alex Waldman of AdventHealth said ERs are preparing for heat exhaustion and heat stroke as the heat index rises.
  • The heat continues through the last week of July with temperatures between 5 and 10 degrees above average into Thursday, and Central Florida will see daily storms while Southwest Florida faces about a 30% chance of showers.
