One billboard thermometer in town registered 96 degrees -- and that was at seven thirty in the evening.
Skies were hazy, and humidity hovered around 40-percent throughout most of the day.
Albany resident and jogger Andrew Peterson has his own prescription for beating the heat:
“I drink a lot of water. I stayed inside all day and came out around seven o'clock, when the sun kinda' went down, and it got a little cooler – it's still a little warm outside.”More sweltering weather is expected through the week.
“Did you know that it was up to 110 here with the heat index?”
“No sir, I did not know that. If I'd have know that I'd probably wouldn't have been outside.”
