So, how hot did it actually get? Buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive into the fiery furnace of statistics.

The Numbers Don't Lie (But Maybe They Should Hide From the Sun)
Brace yourselves: In 2023, Austin experienced a whopping 78 days where the temperature soared past the scorching mark of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. That's right, folks, enough triple-digit days to make a lizard blush.
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
To put it in perspective:
- That's more than 2.5 months of sweating through your clothes just walking to the mailbox.
- We officially dethroned 2022's 68-day record, but hey, at least we didn't quite reach the all-time high of 90 set in 2011. (Baby steps, right?)
Here's a fun fact (that's not exactly fun): Austin even managed to out-heat our neighbors in San Antonio this time around. Sorry, not sorry, SA!

A Toast (with Ice Water) to Those Who Survived

- Our pets, who somehow maintained their adorable charm despite the heat.
We salute you!
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
