Off wiki re 1980: In Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, high temperatures exceeded 100 °F (38 °C) a total of 69 times, including a record 42 consecutive days from June 23 to August 3,[4] of which 28 days were above 105, and five days above 110. The area saw 29 days in which the previous record high temperature was either broken or tied, including its all-time high when the temperature hit 113 °F (45 °C) on three consecutive days (June 26 and 27 at DFW Airport and June 28 at Dallas Love Field).
1936 was nothing to sneeze at: July was the peak month, in which temperatures reached all-time records—many of which still stood as of 2021. In Steele, North Dakota, temperatures reached 121 °F.......
It's hot. True. But it's called weather.
I was living here is Dallas through that summer.
Lots of stats like that but the odd thing is I can't find the one that give the number of days in a row that it did not get BELOW 100.
It was something around 8-10 days and it was brutal. I checked the weather calendars, They indicate it never happened But I was right here in Dallas when it did.
I had always wondered when we would get hit like this again.
1980. 2011. Now.
