Dangerous Heat Conditions
A Heat Advisory is currently in effect for Denison, Texas, signaling dangerous heat conditions for the region. The National Weather Service has issued this moderate-severity alert due to dangerously high heat index values that will make it feel much hotter than the actual air temperature.
Right now, the air temperature stands at 95F, but the combination of heat and humidity pushes the feels-like temperature to 105F. The relative humidity is at 50%, with a dew point of 73F, indicating quite humid conditions that trap heat and reduce the body's ability to cool itself.
Winds are currently blowing from the south southwest at 8 mph, with gusts reaching up to 10 mph, while the sky remains clear.
