  1. Seems both San Antonio and Houston officially broke their 100*F streak today. Austin eeked out an intra-hour 100*F before getting an outer band of t'storms from Harold.
  2. I'm surprised DFW's records for 100*F+ days are notably higher than San Antonio's, even with a much larger UHI and being 3x as large...
  3. https://sanantonioreport.org/san-antonio-weather-heat-record-summer-2023/
  4. For the 3rd time this seaaon, DFW achieved a high of 109*F today.
  5. As of 2pm, today's record high of 107*F at DFW (previously set in 2011) has been broken (currently 108*F).
  6. Update: The high was actually 108*F, breaking the previous record.
  7. DFW tied the record high of 107*F today (previously set in 2011), and also set another record maximum low of 85*F (previously 82*F set in 2006).
  8. We finally got some of that down here for the first time this season yesterday. Made for a nice sunrise and sunset with thick haze.
  9. Unless something crazy happens towards the last few days of August with the pattern (I.E. a Tropical System or a massive trough), on average, 2023 will be the 3rd warmest Summer on record for DFW (yes, surpassing 1998/2022 and only behind 2011/1980). The 2nd warmest August on record is likely a lock as well, and 2023 is still in the running to surpass 2011 for the warmest. Still amazing to think about, given it (Summer 2023) was off to a pretty tame start.
  10. Sunday has trended slightly warmer, so may have one more shot then.
  11. It's amazing how difficult it has been to get a 110*F+ day at DFW since 2011. We've now had 2 back-to-back Summers amongst the hottest on record, and neither one of them could crack it. This was about the most ideal setup for it to happen too.
  12. And it's very fitting that a potential 110*F day starts off with a hazy sunrise from Canadian Wildfire Smoke...
  13. Talk about a back-loaded Summer (2023)... What's also crazy about this number for DFW is that drought conditions haven't been nearly as severe/extreme as they were in the other top 5 years.
  14. How many 100*F+ days has Houston seen so far this season? EDIT: Never mind. I think I found the answer (26 days as of 8/17).
