A ferocious heat wave has settled over Dallas-Fort Worth and much of Texas, sending people scrambling indoors for air conditioning or trying to have a little fun with things by, say, baking chocolate chip cookies inside their cars.
But it doesn’t even come close to the record, when 2011 saw a whopping 71 days of 100 degrees or more, said Sarah Barnes, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
Friday’s high reached 106 degrees at DFW International Airport, with a heat index of 112.
Humidity is also expected to surge this weekend, with heat indexes reaching or even surpassing 110 degrees.
A small chance of rain Monday and Tuesday could help bring down the temperature a bit, Barnes said, but as of now, the highs are still expected to soar above 100.
A nonstop flight on American Airlines this week will run you $570, which is beginning to sound like a bargain.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
