The high pressure dome in the middle of the USA contributes to the pattern.
Direct landfall of tropical cyclones are very rare in Southern California. Once in the 1930s and one other time in 1858, Iirc. Since white people were there to measure it, at least.

Was officially 106 at the San Antonio airport that day, but in my zipcode... fmlhuh, all since 2000
That said, I still think the pros of buying solar panels don't outweigh the cons. Also anecdotally, of the people I know with solar, only a few are happy with it.
I work with a couple guys who installed it and they were proponents just to save face, but when they show the numbers and I do the math, it's mostly a feel good measure. Then again, recycling doesn't save me a red cent, but I do it religiously.
ing 105 again. And we'll probably get there again another couple of times at least this year.
1. 16 days and counting in 2023 as of August 21st, 2023
2. 4 days in 2022
3. 3 days in 2011
3. 3 days in 1962
3. 3 days in 1909
Also puts the August 2023 average high as 104.191 more than 2/3rd through the month. We'd have to average 96.5 or less for the remaining ten days of the month to not set a new record for hottest month ever recorded here.
By about 2070, Austin-San Antonio was expected to average about 40 100-degree days a year under a moderate emissions scenario and 60 to 65 under a high-emissions scenario.
Juxtapose that against lived experience in 2022-23.
Either these are anomalously hot years, or Texas’s future is Iraq.
LOL we're already near averaging 30 days of 100+ per year in San Antonio over the last 15 years even though historical mean is like 18. I don't know where a 40 days by 2070 projection would have made any sense.
It rained here tonite cats & in' dogs. Thunder, lightening, we ain't had this kind of rainfall since freakin' March.
let me know when the heat wave equals the ice age, then we'll talk about climate control because as far as i know cow farts and automobile gas emissions werent around when the ice age happened so what are you liberals gonna blame it on,,,,itd be funny if you just said nature.
Tell it, Hemi.
Testify!!!
Bumping again thanks to the compressional heating ahead of tomorrow's front

Park in the damn shade people! I had to replace my car battery a week ago because of this heat. Bought that battery not even a yr ago but good ol' Autozone replaced it free of charge.
