San Antonio's Scorching Streak: Counting Up the Triple-Digit Days (and Maybe Our Blessings?)
Ah, San Antonio. The Alamo City, home of the River Walk, tasty breakfast tacos, and... apparently, an unhealthy obsession with temperatures that would make the devil himself sweat. Look, we all know San Antonio gets toasty in the summer. But this year? This year is a whole new level of "hold my margarita."

2023: The Year San Antonio Became a Human Rotisserie Chicken
Let's talk facts, folks. 2023 absolutely shattered the record for most 100-degree days in a single year, clocking in at a sizzling 60 days. That's right, 6-0! We surpassed the previous record holder (2009) by a whole day, then promptly said, "Hold my metaphorical cowboy hat," and roasted for another 59.
We even managed a record-breaking 23 consecutive days where the mercury refused to dip below 100. Basically, that summer was like living inside a giant convection oven set to "broil."
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
2024: So Far, So... Not Quite 2023?
Thankfully, 2024 has been a little less, well, apocalyptic. We finally saw our first 100-degree day relatively recently, which some might consider a cause for celebration (those people must be crazy).
Look, here's the thing. San Antonio loves to complain about the heat, but let's be honest, it's kind of part of our charm. We wouldn't be the Alamo City without the scorching summers that force us to perfect our pool-floating techniques and strategic air conditioning use.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
But hey, if you're new to town and wondering how to handle the heat, don't worry, we've got you covered!

How to Survive a San Antonio Summer: A Crash Course
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Water is your BFF. Carry a reusable water bottle everywhere and pretend it's your new accessory.
- Seek shade like a lizard. The sun is out to get you, so find some refuge under trees, umbrellas, or even those giant inflatable dinosaurs in your neighbor's yard. No judgment.
- Embrace the siesta. Channel your inner Spaniard and take a midday break when the sun is at its fiercest. Afternoon naps are socially acceptable here, folks.
- Frozen treats are your allies. Ice cream, popsicles, boozy snow cones (hey, we don't judge) - whatever cools you down is fair game.
- Light, loose clothing is your friend. Ditch the denim and channel your inner linen-clad European.
