Texas weather to get more extreme

The big picture: The 2021 report found that the number of triple-digit days is expected to nearly double by 2036, compared to 2001-2020.

• The updated report now predicts the number of 100-degree days to triple.

Of note: There were 55 days with temperatures 100 or higher this summer in Dallas-Fort Worth. And the heat continued well into September.

• Last year, there were 47 days.

Details: The report found that milder winters followed by high-heat summers will worsen drought conditions.

• And, when it does rain, downpours will be more severe. The report predicts an increase in urban flooding, up as much as 50% in the last half of the 21st century compared to last century.

Zoom out: Hurricane intensity along the coast is also predicted to increase.

What's next: The full report will be released in the new year.
