heat

Living in Amarillo is cool. Literally.

Over the weekend there had been rescues in Palo Duro Canyon due to the extreme heat. They even sent out messages that they were closing the trail to the Lighthouse on Sunday.

After hitting a negative 21 with the wind chill last week here in Amarillo it's nice to see some better weather. Amarillo and all of Texas really deserves it. There has been talk about what was going to happen with our energy bills.

At least we're almost out of the summer months, and our focus will no longer be on staying cool.

When it comes to roadwork, the extreme heat has not slowed construction crews down across the Texas panhandle.

As the temperatures soar into the triple digits, Xcel is closing motoring power needs across the region to meet the demands.

We are officially in the summer months. We officially hit that on Saturday.So with that people are getting outside a lot more. That is great! We need that after the spring we had. The sun can do some great things for you. It also can damage you.

Summer may not have officially arrived in Amarillo just yet, but we are going to feel some extreme heat on Thursday throughout the panhandle.

From snow earlier in the month, to some strong storms, and now record heat, April 2020 will certainly be one to remember.

Amarillo heat during the summer can be brutal but just hearing that you need to drink “lots” of water can be unclear.
