Heat alert extended in Houston with over 1 million people without power

Wednesday forecast:

A heat advisory is in effect until 8 p.m. Wednesday. Expected highs will be around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Factoring in humidity, the feel-good temperature will reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Be careful when cleaning outside. Listen to your body and take breaks in the shade. Drink water. If you need help cooling down, cooling centers are activated throughout Houston.

In the footsteps of the tropics:

There is no tropical activity in the Gulf, Caribbean or Atlantic Ocean. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere is calm. This is unheard of for a month of July.

10 day forecast:

For those without electricity, the situation will be very uncomfortable until power is restored. The chance of rain increases slightly over the weekend.
