North Texans who are sick of facing 100-degree days can breathe a sigh of relief. After grappling with a sweltering and seemingly endless summer, the weather will soon start to turn for the better.
When it comes to daily average temperature from June 1 to Aug. 15, Dallas-Fort Worth has just witnessed the third-hottest period, behind only 1980 and 2011, said Dan Schreiber, a Texas-based certified consulting meteorologist. That can be tied to the area's strong high pressure, which is known as the “Subtropical Ridge.”
The ridge serves as a sort of bubble that works to repel storms and usher in higher temps, Schreiber explained via email. And, until that bubble goes away, we can expect to see the same red-hot and bone-dry weather. “The good news is that the Subtropical Ridge is expected to weaken through the course of the remainder of the month, allowing atmospheric perturbations along the periphery of this weakening bubble to impact parts of north Texas, and this will likely yield both lower temperatures and several chances for rainfall in the coming weeks,” he wrote.
