The Indianapolis Heatwave: Fact or Fiction? We Investigate (with AC cranked to max)
Let's face it, folks, it's been a scorcher of a summer. Birds are sweating, sidewalks are sizzling, and even the ice cream truck jingle sounds a little heat-stroke-y. So, the burning question on everyone's mind (besides "where's the nearest pool?") is: just how hot did Indianapolis get today?
Did the Hoosiers Melt?
Fear not, drama queens! While Indianapolis may not have broken any temperature records today, it definitely wasn't a walk in the park (unless that park has a giant ice sculpture, in which case, we're all in). According to our crack team of weather sleuths (aka a quick Google search), the high in Indy today reached a toasty 26°C (that's 79°F for our Fahrenheit friends).
Not quite pool-boiling hot, but definitely enough to make you wish you'd packed an extra iced latte.
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
Heatwave Heroes: You, Yes You!

- You've achieved a level of sweat that would impress even the most dedicated gym rat.
High Five! Now go grab some water (seriously, stay hydrated).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
