So, how hot has it actually been?

That's right, 6-0 scorching days! That's more than just toasty, that's approaching "we can fry an egg on the sidewalk" territory.
But wait, there's more! (Because apparently, misery loves company)
Not only did we break the total record, but San Antonio also endured a scorching 23 consecutive days where the mercury hit the century mark. Think about that for a second. That's basically an entire month where you could've used your car as a giant, not-so-efficient oven.
