This Fourth of July on Saturday is expected to be the hottest on record in Charlotte<\/a>, reaching 102 degrees, with enough humidity to make it feel like 106 or 107.<\/p>\n

That would beat Charlotte\u2019s last record over the last century of 99 degrees in 1993.<\/p>\n

We are not alone. A heatwave across the Midwest and the East is putting more than 165 million people at risk for \u201cmajor\u201d or \u201cextreme\u201d heat-related health issues, according to The Weather Channel.<\/a><\/p>\n

Intense, high pressure has formed an atmospheric ridge of thick, hot air that is expected to hover over us the next several days, said Mike Rehnberg, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Friday, the temperature is expected to reach 101 but feel like about 107.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mecklenburg County is also under an air quality alert until 10 p.m.<\/a> Friday night, with ground-level ozone concentrations approaching or exceeding unhealthy standards.<\/p>\n

Humidity will make the air feel all the more oppressive.<\/p>\n

Our bodies are designed to keep cool by sweating and then having the sweat evaporate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat only works if the air is dry enough for your sweat to dry up and evaporate,\u201d Rehnberg said. \u201cSo when you get this air that is really, really moist, your sweat can\u2019t evaporate which means that it can\u2019t cool your body off.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why 102 degrees in a desert climate may feel more bearable than 102 degrees here.<\/p>\n
