Fort Worth's Scorch-a-Rama: Counting Down the Days (or is it Up?) to Cooler Weather
Ah, Fort Worth, Texas. Where the sun shines like a smile... with a blowtorch attached. We all love our fair city, but let's be honest, these triple-digit temperatures can make even the most enthusiastic lizard want to crawl back under a rock (with an ice pack, of course).
So, the question on everyone's sweaty brow is: just how many days have we been baking in this fiery furnace?
Unfortunately, I can't give you the exact answer today, (blame it on the time difference between you and Texas), but fret not, my fellow heat-addled friend! The internet, bless its glorious information superhighways, has some resources to help you quench your thirst for knowledge (and maybe a nice cold drink too).
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
Here are a few places to dig for that scorching answer:
- The National Weather Service: These folks are the official record keepers for Mother Nature's mood swings. Check their website specifically for the Fort Worth/Dallas area (
https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=32.751&lon=-97.3309 ). They might even have a fun little counter going for the number of 100-degree days we've endured. - News Articles: Local news outlets love to keep tabs on these scorching streaks. A quick Google search for "Fort Worth 100-degree days" might unearth an article with the answer you seek.
Pro Tip: If you find an article about Fort Worth hitting its 45th day of 100 degrees, well, that was back in August of 2023! Hopefully, we haven't broken any heatwave records since then.
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
But hey, even if you can't find the exact number, you can always take a wild guess based on how much your air conditioner sounds like it's about to give up the ghost.
