The Numbers Game: Counting the Days We Melted
The suspense is sizzling! How many times did the mercury break 100 degrees in 2022? Here's the (slightly horrifying) answer: a whole lot. Weather reports suggest we were looking at somewhere in the ballpark of 60+ days where the temperature climbed to triple digits.
That's right, folks, over 60 days where Austin basically became a giant convection oven. Imagine trying to explain that to someone from, say, Seattle. "Yeah, it was a bit toasty for a couple months."
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
Sub-heading: Was it a record-breaker?
Thankfully, 2022 didn't quite steal the crown for the most scorching year on record. That dubious honor goes to 2011, with a whopping 90 days of triple-digit misery. But hey, silver linings, right?
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
A Trip Down Memory Lane (Or Should We Say, Heatstroke Lane?)
So, what was it like living through those 60+ days of fiery fury? Let's take a moment to reminisce (or maybe repress some memories):
- Air conditioners weeping like a Texan watching Friday Night Lights get cancelled.
- Public transportation turning into saunas on wheels.
- Swimming pools becoming the new social gathering spot (because who needs clothes when it's this hot?)
- The constant internal debate: popsicle or nap?
Ah, yes, those were the days.
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
