Central Florida sizzled under dangerously high temperatures Monday, with record-breaking heat reported in several areas — and even hotter conditions are expected to follow.
Both Sanford and Leesburg shattered their daily record highs. Sanford hit 99°F, tying the previous record of 99° set in 1998. Leesburg soared to 100°F, topping the 96° record from 1968.
As if those temperatures weren’t hot enough, the heat index — what it actually feels like outside — climbed well above 110° in spots, thanks to the high humidity blanketing the region.
Oh No more fake record heat
