HARLINGEN — “Get water.”

The National Weather Service Brownsville-Rio Grande Valley has announced the traditional mid-season outlook for the Atlantic hurricane season from the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration, 2023 edition.

Turning on the oven with high temperatures stuck in the triple digits appeals to almost no one.

The National Weather Service Brownsville-Rio Grande Valley station has issued its outlook for August through October, and maybe it would have been better if they hadn’t.

With temperatures reaching an all-time high, at least three hospital systems in the Rio Grande Valley have reported a rise in the number of emergency room visits related to heat illness, and meteorologists continue to warn that it’s not getting much cooler anytime soon.

Let’s be honest, as soon as summer hits we indulge in some ice cream, popsicles and beer for those who are old enough. Let’s be even more honest — we don’t really wait for the summer to enjoy those things.

The National Weather Service Brownsville-Rio Grande Valley station kicked off the week with another heat advisory for most of deep South Texas from 1-7 p.m. on Monday, forecasting dangerous heat through the week and further “heat advisories likely and excessive heat warnings probable.”

Hidalgo County’s Precinct 3 office said Wednesday that it has finished clearing the debris left in the wake of the April 28-29 storm that brought with it hurricane-force winds and left widespread damage in the region.
