| How Many Consecutive Days Over 100 In San Antonio |
The Mercury Climbed, Our Spirits Didn't Necessarily
Let's face it, San Antonio is no stranger to heat. But 2023 decided to crank the thermostat up to "nuclear furnace." We're talking 23 consecutive days where the temperature refused to dip below a sweltering 100 degrees Fahrenheit. That's right, folks, three whole weeks of feeling like we were living on the sun's slightly less-toasty neighbor.
Think about it. Imagine your air conditioner whimpering in defeat, your swimming pool morphing into a lukewarm bathtub, and your attempts at looking stylish evaporating faster than a drop of water on that sidewalk. Rough times, my friends, rough times.
Breaking Records Like Eggs on a Hot Sidewalk
But hey, at least we set a record, right? San Antonio officially shattered the record for the most consecutive 100-degree days, beating out the previous record of 21 days set way back in 1962. Can you imagine the heat wave stories your grandparents must have if they lived through that?
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
We even went on to break the record for the most days in a year exceeding 100 degrees, clocking in at a whopping 60 days. Seems like poor old Mother Nature decided to crank up the heat and forget to turn it down.
So, How Do We Survive the Next Heat Wave?
Fear not, fellow San Antonians! Here are some quick tips for keeping your cool when the mercury soars:
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Water is your best friend, folks. Carry a reusable water bottle and chug like nobody's watching (because trust us, they probably won't be outside watching anyway).
- Seek air conditioning like it's the holy grail. Libraries, malls, your friend's house with the central air that actually works – become a master of strategic air-conditioned Aufenthalte.
- Embrace the frozen treats. Ice cream, popsicles, frosty beverages – whatever cools you down, go for it. Just remember, moderation is key (unless it's watermelon. Go nuts with watermelon).
- Light, loose clothing is your friend. Ditch the dark colors and heavy fabrics. Think breathable and breezy, because nobody wants to be a sweaty mess.
