Heat Wave Breaks With Storms | Indianapolis News

Central Indiana’s sweltering heat shows no sign of letting up—nearly 100 degrees with a heat index soaring past 105, and it’s been this way for five straight days. But there’s a glimmer of relief: the heat dome is weakening and shifting south, sparking isolated thunderstorms that bring much-needed downpours and lightning—though some have caused damage. Residents are visibly struggling, with social media buzzing about the discomfort and concern for the vulnerable. While storms may pop up through Friday evening, the Fourth of July will stay mostly dry but unbearably hot and humid. Keep an eye on Saturday night, when storms could disrupt fireworks, and Sunday’s heavy rain could cause flooding. Next week offers a slight reprieve from the humidity, though warmth will linger.
