This heat wave peaks Monday with temperatures well into the 90s, and with humidity on the rise it feels like values will be near 100 degrees.
For folks who’ve been waiting for this sunshine, the oppressive heat is worth it.
"It’s so nice to get outside," one woman said. "Especially after the pandemic. I've been kind of like, inside all day and I bet everybody else has been too so to get out in this 85, 90 degree weather and playing volleyball outside just feels great."
