The U.S. Dust Bowl brought some of the hottest and driest weather ever observed in the Lower 48.
The lack of moisture meant that the air had a low specific heat capacity; in other words, it didn’t require much thermal energy to heat up, and could cool down quickly at night. That allowed temperatures to soar to inconceivable levels — hence the numerous states that made it to 120 degrees during the Dust Bowl.
“July 20, 2022 was hot in the US for sure. But not nearly as hot as July 20, 1934,” he tweeted on Tuesday, the day that both Mangum, Okla., and Wichita Falls, Tex., hit 115 degrees.
