Dry weather, record-setting heat to continue in the Carolinas. When will it cool down?

https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article230894819.html

More record-breaking heat is in store for the Carolinas this week, with highs from the mid-90s to triple digits expected across the region in the coming days, forecasters say.

It’s been dry, too, with some parts of South Carolina in a moderate drought and warnings of “abnormally dry” conditions into North Carolina, according to the National Weather Service.

The heat wave covering the South has broken high-temperature records across the region, according to the National Weather Service. Charleston set a new high for the day at 100 on Memorial Day, according to the NWS, and some parts of South Carolina’s Lowcountry got up to 103.

“The heat wave continues today with highs expected to reach 100-103 away from the coast again today. Record highs are likely at both the Charleston and Savannah Airports,” the NWS tweeted Tuesday.

It was especially brutal during the Saturday-Sunday part of the holiday weekend, with nasty humidity. Today and yesterday, low humidity, so it was a good day yesterday to go to the pool.

And I've started to see some of the bottom leaves on the palm trees starting to really get brown. Headed back up north again on Thursday, I hope to enjoy some of the cooler weather until the greater NYC area becomes just as hot and humid.

Temps in the 90's hit May 16, and climbed to 98-99, while the heat index is of course higher.
NO rain since then, which is unusual. blue sky and heat that hurts the skin after a few seconds...
Today I am seeing some clouds, which is hopeful, 'cause usually we will get rain after only a few days of heat like this.

cloudless skies, upper 90s, lower humidity.

Rainy season average start is May 24. Just a few days behind that but it hasn't rained much the last few weeks and not much of a break in sight.
