No record – we only hit 97 degrees yesterday, two days short of tying the most consecutive days over hundred in North Texas…so the record remains 1980 and the streak of 42.

It was interesting observing how people eventually wanted to break the record once so close and the interplay between physical comfort and the more intrinsic qualities of competition and being able to say, “I survived the hottest summer ever.”

As it stands, it is the driest Texas year ever, our 30 degree latitude doing us no favors.
