Brace Yourselves: A Look Back at Fort Worth's Fiery Past
Fort Worth has a long and storied history with triple-digit temperatures. We're talking heat waves that would make a fire-breathing dragon reconsider its career path. The National Weather Service keeps meticulous records (those weather nerds!), and according to them, the record for consecutive scorching days sits at a scorching 42 days, set in the fiery summer of 1980. Yeah, you read that right. Basically, our grandparents were living in a real-life furnace for over a month.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
So, How Long Can We Expect This Time?
Now, before you stock up on industrial-sized bottles of sunscreen and move into your freezer, here's the good news: meteorologists aren't predicting a repeat of 1980 this year. There have been whispers of 18 to 19 days as a possibility, which, while not exactly a walk in the park, is a far cry from a 42-day inferno.
