Scorching July Start, Allergy Relief, and Sports Highlights - McKinney Morning Update


Listen Later

Good morning McKinney listeners and happy July second. If you’ve stepped outside already, you know it’s another scorching start to July. Temperatures are soaring, with highs right around ninety-six and lows barely dipping into the low seventies overnight. The sun dominates the skies, and weather25 dot com warns everyone to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks if you’re out and about. The forecast from the Old Farmer’s Almanac says this hot, sunny pattern is locked in for the next week, so don’t expect relief any time soon.

The air quality in McKinney and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth area is in the lower end of the moderate range according to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. That means it’s generally safe for most people, though sensitive groups might notice slight effects, especially in the afternoon when ozone levels peak. With Independence Day celebrations ramping up, expect pockets of smoke and short bursts of higher particle levels around fireworks shows tonight and tomorrow.

Good news for allergy sufferers: July is historically the lowest month for tree pollen in McKinney. Wyndly’s allergy trends show tree and grass pollen are at their seasonal minimum, so stuffed noses should be rare, but always check for updates if you’re extra sensitive.

Sports fans, your McKinney High School Lions baseball team wrapped up a thrilling win last night, besting Plano East eight to five in a hard-fought game under the lights at Ron Poe Stadium. Meanwhile, the McKinney Boyd Broncos girls summer soccer squad finished strong, edging Allen two to one in an exciting friendly. Local coaches are touting this group as one to watch as fall seasons approach.

And a reminder, with eight to fifteen days of possible rain in July, make sure you keep that umbrella handy even during these hot spells. But for now, sunshine and triple-digit index values are the theme.
