Ah, 2023 in San Antonio. A year that will be etched in the minds (and possibly on the foreheads with sweat-induced Sharpie) of locals forever. Why? Because apparently, Mother Nature decided to crank the thermostat up to "molten lava" and leave it there for, well, a very long time.

| How Many 100 Degree Days In San Antonio 2023 So Far |
So, how long exactly are we talking? Buckle up, buttercup...
San Antonio officially experienced a whopping 74 days where the temperature hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher in 2023. That's right, folks. 74 days of feeling like you were living inside a pre-heated oven set to "broil." We're pretty sure even the cacti were sweating.
This scorching summer obliterated the previous record of 59 days set in 2009. Let's just say 2023 wasn't messing around when it came to the heat.
Breaking News: Conspiracy Theories Abound!
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
With all this heat, it's no surprise some folks started getting a little... creative. Whispers of a rogue weather machine or a particularly grumpy fire-breathing dragon hiding out in the Hill Country began to circulate. We can't confirm or deny these theories, but hey, if it makes the heat more bearable, who are we to judge?
2023 Wasn't All Bad (Maybe)
Okay, okay, so it was REALLY hot. But hey, at least we can all take comfort in the fact that we officially survived an apocalypse-lite scenario. We also developed an uncanny ability to sweat at a level that would impress even the most dedicated gym rat. Plus, pool memberships were booming and popsicle sales were through the roof!
Looking Ahead: Will 2024 Be Cooler?
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Only time will tell, but as of today (June 29th, 2024), San Antonio has only experienced a measly 7 days of 100-degree heat. So far, so good!
