Amarillo’s Scorching Summer Reality | Amarillo News

Amarillo’s scorching summer just set new records, with 38 days hitting 100°F — nearly seven degrees hotter than average — and experts warning more 100-degree days are likely this week. While September usually cools things down, heatwaves are becoming the norm, even striking as late as September just two years ago. Delivery workers face extreme conditions inside vehicles that can soar to 140°F, prompting UPS and FedEx to upgrade fleets with AC and fans, while the USPS educates staff on heat safety and allows small cold drink gifts. Vulnerable groups — kids, seniors, and those with chronic illnesses — are at highest risk; recognize signs of heat exhaustion and stroke, and act fast — seek medical help immediately.
