According to the Norfolk weather bureau, a 90-degree temperature reading today will tie a record for consecutive hot days dating back to 1871. The predicted high today is 95. The weather bureau has recorded temperatures above 90 degrees for 12 consecutive days, from July 13 to Monday. The record of 13 days in a row was set June 20-July 2, 1871.

The average temperature for this period has been 93, with the average comfort index 82.5. The weather bureau considers a comfort index of 81 "oppressive."
