How Hot Is It In Oklahoma City Right Now |
The Numbers Don't Lie (But They Might Make You Sweat)
Right now in Oklahoma City, we're looking at a scorching 31°C (that's 88°F for our non-metric friends). But hold on, it gets better (or worse, depending on how you look at it). Because with humidity factored in, it feels like a toasty 33°C (91°F). So basically, you're walking around hugging a giant lukewarm pool noodle.
Fun fact: The sun isn't even trying to be subtle about it. The UV index is a measly 0 (because apparently even the sun needs a break in this heat).
Signs You're Melting (Besides, You Know, Actually Melting)
- Your shadow looks like it's lagging behind you.
- You can fry an egg on the sidewalk... but why would you even consider that?
- Your air conditioner sounds like it's about to give up the ghost (and who can blame it?).
- You start craving popsicles for dinner. Hey, no judgement here!
How to Survive the Oklahoma Summer Inferno (Because Adulting Doesn't Stop for Heat Waves)
- Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Water is your best friend. Carry a water bottle everywhere and pretend it's your precious cargo.

- Loosen up those clothes. Think breezy, light-colored fabrics. Ditch the denim, folks!
- Fire up the grill... for breakfast! Who says grilling is just for burgers and hot dogs? Whip up some pancakes or veggie skewers - anything to avoid heating up the kitchen.
- Embrace the siesta. Channel your inner Spaniard and take a midday nap. Siesta-ing isn't just for vacations, my friends!
