Everything you should know about when the 90s start and end in the JAX city of heat.
Jacksonville woman reported missing after getting lost on the way to see family in S.C.; car found with keys insideSummer heat would not be complete in the city where 90s reigns supreme. Meteorologists Mark Collins explains how long these affairs last before breaking apart.After sweltering through 82 days of 90-degree-plus temperatures this year, we expect a slight reprieve with temperatures in the upper 80s on Thursday and Friday.
Red lines are days hitting 90 or more so far this year which began in April and have been nearly continuous since June. While the difference between 89 and 90 degrees might seem negligible, we’ll take it as a hopeful sign that the scorching heatwave is loosening its grip.For those keeping score, the average start of Jacksonville’s 90-degree days is June 11, ending on Aug. 31. Of course, this is just a 30-year average, and there have been outliers.In 1974, we hit the 90s as early as March 10 – a rare occurrence occurring less than 5% of the time.
So, as we eagerly await the arrival of cooler days, let’s appreciate the Earth’s 22.5-degree tilt – the reason we get to enjoy the changing seasons as we hurtle through space.After covering the weather from every corner of Florida and doing marine research in the Gulf, Mark Collins settled in Jacksonville to forecast weather for The First Coast.
