In order to give residents an idea of how high the temperature rose, KHTS Radio conducted several heatwave “experiments” to test the effects of the triple-digit heat.

KHTS News staff wanted to see if it was hot enough to bake cookies inside a car, fry an egg on the pavement and in the process managed to melt an outdoor thermometer.

KHTS staff members prepared a cookie sheet full of dough and placed them inside a vehicle where the temperature inside went off the scale of the thermometer — in excess of 150 degrees.

The KHTS News team managed to bake a sheet of cookies within three hours sitting in an enclosed vehicle.
