supposedly about the 3-4th hottest summer on record so far behind 1980 and 2011. Very dry with only a trace of rain at DFW in 30+ days (second to 2011). Lots of wildfires which i don't remember from 2011. it only has broken a record high for THAT day once or twice this summer. It was around 109 daily for about 4 days straight which with our humidity feels like an oven. August is normally when summer really sucks.
I remember both of those years, was on a backhoe
