Shorter post earlier today, so thought I'd supplement with some proof of how hot it's been lately. With yesterday, we tied for 7th longest streak here of 100+ days. Today if we hit it (there are real clouds in the sky so maybe not?), we'll be tied for 6th.
Date High Time of day
August 17 102 5:26 p.m.
August 16 102 5:44 p.m.
August 15 103 3:13 p.m.
August 14 102 5:52 p.m.
August 13 103 3:58 p.m.
August 12 103 5:25 p.m.
August 11 103 3:51 p.m.
August 10 101 3:49 p.m.
August 9 100 5:35 p.m.
August 8 100 5:14 p.m.
August 7 101 5:20 p.m.
August 6 105 3:49 p.m.
August 5 104 6:56 p.m.
August 4 101 5:44 p.m.
August 3 102 5:10 p.m. (night of my evening run w/ a friend -- felt every degree of it)
August 2 104 5:00 p.m.
August 1 104 5:55 p.m
July 31 102 5:18 p.m.
So the last column there solidifies my resolve to run at 5:15 a.m. instead of after work any day. Anyway, these numbers were also interesting:
Dallas's top 5 100-degree streaks
Date Number of Days
June 23rd - Aug. 3rd, 1980: 42 days
July 6th - Aug 3rd, 1998: 29 days
Aug. 2nd - August 26, 1952: 25 days
July 28 - Aug. 20th 1999: 24 days (I was here for this one! Actually, I left town before it ended.)
July 9th - July 28th, 1954: 20 days
I just have to remind myself that it's all worth it come November or so when it starts getting miserable at home, and that it's really worth it in February when it's still miserable there. And I'm going to hope for good weather at MTCM! Overcast, low that day of 40, high of 55. Oh, I dream of it!
