Dangerous Heat and Humidity
Celina is currently experiencing dangerous heat conditions this afternoon. The air temperature stands at 91F, but the combination of heat and moisture pushes the feels-like temperature to a hazardous 103F. This oppressive humidity is driven by a dew point of 75F, with relative humidity holding at 59%. The sky remains mostly cloudy as the heat builds.
Winds are contributing to the uncomfortable conditions, blowing from the south at 18 mph with gusts reaching 22 mph. While the breeze offers some movement, it does not significantly lower the perceived temperature.
