So, how many days exactly did we spend basking (or rather, baking) in 90-degree weather?
According to weather reports and the collective memory of anyone who stepped outside (let's be honest, most of us stayed glued to the AC), Indianapolis saw a whopping bunch of days where the mercury hit 90 degrees or higher in 2023. Now, some sources say it was a scorcher of a summer with near record-breaking heat, while others claim it wasn't that bad.

Fun fact! Did you know...?
- The average first 90-degree day in Indianapolis arrives around mid-June. In 2023, we got a taste of the heat a little early, greeting summer with open arms (and sweaty palms) around early June.
- There was even a heat streak in July where the temperature just wouldn't budge from the 90s. Those were the days when even opening the fridge felt like a sauna.
How to Survive an Indianapolis Summer (Spoiler Alert: It Involves Ice Cream)
Here are some handy tips for surviving an Indianapolis summer, just in case 2024 decides to be another scorcher:
How to stay cool:
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Water is your best friend, folks. Carry a reusable water bottle everywhere you go.
- Air conditioning is your BFF. Make sure your AC is in tip-top shape before the heat hits.
- Embrace the frozen treats. Ice cream, popsicles, frozen yogurt – whatever your frozen fancy is, indulge in it. You deserve it.
- Light, loose clothing is your friend. Ditch the dark colors and embrace breezy fabrics.
How to keep your cool (mentally):
- Plan indoor activities. Museums, movies, the library – there are plenty of cool places to escape the heat.
- Early morning or evening outings are your jam. The sun is less intense during these times.
- Take breaks! Don't try to be a hero. If you're feeling hot and bothered, head inside and cool down.
How to keep your electronics cool:
- Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight. This is a recipe for overheating.
- Power down when not in use. The less they work, the cooler they'll stay.
- Invest in a portable phone charger. Because a dead phone in the heat is a recipe for a meltdown (yours, not the phone's... hopefully).
