The San Antonio Sizzler: Did You Melt Yesterday?
Ah, San Antonio. Land of the Alamo, the Riverwalk, and apparently, molten sidewalks according to yesterday's weather report. But hey, at least you can say you survived a Texas summer! So, for those who braved the heat (or wisely cranked up the AC), let's get down to the nitty-gritty: just how hot did it actually get?
The Mercury Might Have Burst: A Temperature Revelation
Prepare yourselves, folks, because this might sting worse than a sunburn: yesterday's high in San Antonio hit a scorching 98 degrees Fahrenheit (36.7 degrees Celsius). That's hotter than a dragon's breath, a freshly paved parking lot at noon, and your uncle's spicy chili (respect to Uncle Tony's culinary skills, though).

Thankfully, no. But it sure felt that way, didn't it?

Let's be honest, San Antonio turned into a giant sweat lodge yesterday. Here's how some of us might have coped:
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
- Hydration became an Olympic sport. Water bottles were refilled faster than you could say "heatstroke."

- Frozen treats were our heroes. Ice cream, popsicles, even frozen burritos – nothing was safe from our insatiable need for coldness.
So, How Do We Prepare for the Next Heatwave?
Well, you could always move to Antarctica, but that might be a bit drastic. Here are some more realistic tips:
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don't feel thirsty.
- Seek air conditioning: Libraries, malls, your friend's house with the good AC – wherever you can find it, go there!
- Lighten up: Wear loose, breathable clothing and that fabulous floppy hat you've been meaning to wear.
- Sunscreen is your BFF: Don't forget to protect yourself from those UV rays!
