Dallas-Fort Worth is officially hot, hot, hot.
Driving the news: The high temperature hovered around 101 yesterday after officially reaching 100 degrees for the first time this summer Tuesday.
The big picture: The region typically sees the first 100-degree day on July 1.
Flashback: Dallas-Fort Worth reached triple digits in June for the past three years.
Fun fact: North Texas had zero 100-degree days in 1973.
Threat level: There were eight triple digit days in 2021, the fewest since 2007. It didn't hit 100 until July 25 that year.
What we're watching: How your 100-degree day guesses fare.
The bottom line: Even if this year isn't a record-breaker for triple digit weather, don't expect a break from the heat until mid-October.
