It's Hot, Hot, Hot

It has been a very hot summer. Today will be the 32nd day over 100 degrees and we will have been over 100 15 of the 16 days this month. But, whenever you talk about heat waves in Dallas, someone will always bring up the "summer of 1980". I didn't live here then so I decided to do a little research and find out how bad it was.

In 1980 temperatures were over 100 degrees for 69 days between June 23 and September 6th. On June 26th and 27th the temperature hit 113 and there were 29 days that either tied or broke record highs during that time period.

Okay, that was bad so maybe I need to quit complaining but I can't because it is still freaking hot.
