Hi there! anyone familiar with weather science? Extreme wasn't used before a few years . word that was used was advisory at around 117f. 110f is normal and 113f common. Only 117f or higher use different language I think Danger? Is this due to the drought? Thank you for the help!

I'm just a layman & not sure if this is apropos, but one concept I've learned via climate change in central TX is "wet bulb temperature." This is an intersection of heat & humidity where the body literally can't cool itself by sweating. Maybe "extreme" is flirting w/ that level?

Thanks for the reply Troy that makes some sense I just retweeted somebody in Odessa who suggested its Republican and the truth is that's where my head went first because of the topic of climate change denial by the GOP which uses the term extreme weather instead. curious isn't it
