Kentucky Heat Wave Hits Hard | Lexington News

Kentucky’s sweltering this week with mid to upper 90s temps and heat index soaring into the low 100s—especially west of I-65. Thursday’s the worst, with Lexington hitting 94°F but feeling like 101°F. The city’s activated its heat plan: cooling centers, extra transit, and outreach teams on the ground. A heat advisory covers western Kentucky until Wednesday night, possibly longer, while Lexington stays hot but not under the official advisory. September’s already been unseasonably warm here—78.6°F versus the norm of 71.8°F—so this heat wave’s making fall feel downright tropical.
