I lived on the Texas Gulf Coast from 1978-1990 and again from 1992-2001. The Great Texas Heat Wave of 1980 (42 consecutive days 100+) seared into my memory and basal cells. Just a warm up for this Summer of 2023 in Indiahoma.
June heated up at the end of the month. Four days over 100, a new record high of 110 on the 28th. Average temperature for the month was 92.2.
July posted 15 days over the century mark. A record posted on July 13 with a toasty 108. Average temperature for the month 99.2.
This month upped the ante and the mercury. With a week to go we’ve recorded 17 more days of 100+. New records 0f 111 (!) posted on the 11th and 18th. Important to note that we have received only .52″ of rain this month, well below the average of 2.05″. Average temperature for August 104.9 degrees.
