So... How Many Days Has San Antonio Basically Been a Furnace?
Let's be honest, San Antonio, you're starting to rival the surface of the sun in the heat department. We feel you. We all want to know: just how many days have we been officially sweltering?
Fear not, my fellow heat-stroked comrades, because I've done some digging (metaphorically, because stepping outside right now would be a recipe for disaster).
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
The Not-So-Cool Answer: Buckle up, buttercup. According to 2023 records, San Antonio experienced a scorching 60 days of 100 degrees or higher. Yes, you read that right. 6. 0. That's practically two months of feeling like you're living inside a preheated oven.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
Breaking News: We've All Melted (Kind Of): Apparently, 2023 was the year San Antonio decided to set a record for most 100-degree days. Can we get a drumroll for breaking the all-time high? Seriously though, that's rough.
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
But Wait, There's More (Because Why Not?): San Antonio even managed to smash another record in 2023. The city braved a brutal stretch of 23 consecutive days at 100 degrees or hotter. Let's just say that air conditioning repair companies were probably doing a booming business.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
So, what does this mean for 2024? Well, weather forecasting is a fickle beast, but one thing's for sure: San Antonio knows how to bring the heat. Here's to hoping for a slightly more forgiving summer this year.
How To: Beat the San Antonio Heatwave (Because Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures)
How to Channel Your Inner Lizard: Embrace the shade, folks. Find yourself a nice, cool tree or park yourself under an umbrella. If you must venture out, sunscreen is your BFF (and a wide-brimmed hat wouldn't hurt).
How to Live Like You're in a Water Park (Without Actually Being There): Stay hydrated! Water is your new best friend. Carry a reusable water bottle everywhere you go and chug like there's no tomorrow.
How to Become BFFs with Your Air Conditioner: This one's pretty self-explanatory. Give your AC unit some love with regular cleaning and filter changes. It'll thank you for it (and you'll thank it for keeping you from spontaneously combusting).
How to Master the Art of the Chilled Beverage: Stock your fridge with all things icy. Watermelon? Excellent choice. Popsicles? Genius! Adult beverages (responsibly, of course)? We won't judge.
How to Develop a Teleportation Ability: Okay, this one might be a stretch, but hey, a girl can dream! Seriously though, if you have the opportunity to escape to somewhere cooler, take it! Your sanity will thank you.
