Hot In the Carolinas: 9 Heat Alerts and 1 Fried Egg on the Sidewalk
If you’re currently in North or South Carolina, congratulations—you’re officially living in Satan’s sauna. A total of nine weather alerts are in effect because apparently, the sun decided to hover directly over Richmond, NC and call it personal. With heat index values reaching up to 112 degrees, authorities are begging folks to stay indoors unless you’re a rotisserie chicken. Richmond is under an Extreme Heat Warning, while nearby counties like Anson, Stanly, and Union are all flirting with 107+ degrees of full-blown summer aggression. This isn’t just hot—it’s “your flip-flops are melting into the pavement” hot.
Meanwhile, places like Chesterfield, Lancaster, and basically everywhere else that sells sweet tea are also under Heat Advisories. The entire region is on a slow bake cycle until at least Tuesday at 8 PM. Meteorologists are advising everyone to hydrate, find AC, and stop challenging the sun to a duel. In short: don’t be a hero—leave the oven stunts to Pillsbury.
