The Great Fresno Inferno: Counting the Scorchers
Unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly how many days Fresno has been scorching this year without a magic heatwave-counting machine (patent pending). But fret not, fellow Fresnoans (or anyone who enjoys slightly-melty facts)! We can look at some past scorchers to get a sense of things.
- Hold My Beer: Apparently, 2021 was a real doozy. We're talking a scorching 69 days where the temperature hit 100 degrees or higher. That's basically two months of sweating through your clothes just walking to the mailbox.
