As July 2022 nears its end, more than half of the month has featured daytime highs in the triple digits.
This is in the wake of our warmest June on record and our second-warmest May on record.
Monthly temperatures are an average of both highs and lows, with records for the Houston area dating back to the late 1800s. Over the last 50 years, we've seen the number of days above 100 grow to six more per year now than in 1970. And it's a positive feedback cycle, where one exacerbates the other. 85% of the state of Texas currently has to burn bans in place. Nearly the entire state is at least moderately dry, with a third either in extreme or exceptional drought categories.
