Second Warmest Summer on Record



From March through April, Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas have all experienced their warmest temperatures on record. And more specifically, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana have all recorded their warmed August on record.

But just where does this summer stand on record? Believe it or not, this summer has marked the second warmest on record according to NOAA.

As seen on the map, Texas holds the lead for the hottest state from June through August. Dallas just hit the 100-degree mark for the 70th day this year.


Other notable Texas cities that hit the 100-degree mark and their count of days(as of today):
Wichita Falls: 100 days
San Angelo: 96 days
Waco: 85 days
Del Rio: 82 days
