The Great Texas Sizzler: How Many 100-Degree Days Did We Dodge (or Embrace?) in 2023?
Let's be honest, Texas weather is a wild ride. One minute you're in a sweater, the next you're sweating through your sunscreen. But one thing's for sure: it gets HOT. So how hot did it get in 2023? Buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive into the fiery depths of Texas summer.
Just How Sizzling Was It? An Unofficial Investigation
Here's the (slightly sarcastic) answer... Texas saw an estimated 127 days of 100-degree weather or hotter in 2023. Insert dramatic music here
Now, before you start stocking up on popsicles and inflatable pools (although, those are always good ideas in Texas), this is a totally unofficial number. There's no official weather data police (thankfully), so this is based on a combination of news reports, weatherman's wild guesses, and maybe a sprinkle of Texan exaggeration. Hey, we gotta keep things interesting, right?
But hey, it gives you a general idea. We're talking about some serious heat, folks.
So, the real question is: Did you spend more time cranking the AC or firing up the grill?
Because let's face it, in Texas, that 100-degree mark is practically an invitation to break out the barbecue.
Either way, here's to surviving another Texas summer! We may be a little crispy around the edges, but we wouldn't have it any other way. (And hoping for a slightly cooler 2024, but hey, no promises there.)
P.S. Don't forget the sunscreen! Texas heat might be a badge of honor, but sunburn is not.
