Last month was one of our top ten wettest Mays on record statewide, which helped drought disappear and flowers (and crops) flourish. #ncwx Our latest climate summary has more on May, plus a hurricane season preview. 📰: climate.ncsu.edu/blog/2025/06/s…

We are currently seeing heat index values in the mid to upper 90s across some ECONet stations. With heat season now upon us, do you know the signs of heat illness? #NCWx #HeatSeason

There's more to measuring heat stress than just a thermometer! The Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) includes the effects of humidity, wind, and solar radiation, which better captures heat impacts on hot days like today. See more and current conditions at econet.climate.ncsu.edu/wbgt

Here's a look at heat index values across the region as of 1 pm (map courtesy of our partners NC Climate Office). While not as high as those seen earlier this week, it's still important to be careful if you're outside today.
