It's only 90 degrees today! 

How how hot has it been this year? It's been so hot that the Devil knocked on my door and asked for a drink of water. Luckily I didn't give him any...

In the Dallas-Fort Worth  metroplex we just missed two all-time records for 100-degree days.

The first record was back in 1980 for the number of days at 100 degrees or more in the summer. That record is 69 days. So far we've had 68 days at 100 degrees or more for 2011.

The second record was also from 1980 which is the number of consecutive days at or above 100 degrees. That record was 42 days. From July 2 to August 10, we had 40 consecutive days above the 100 degree mark then one day a few rain clouds came in and spoiled it for us. Two days later we were back up to 107.

However, there is hope. It looks like we will creep up above 100 again this week for a couple more days. Honestly, I'm ready for cool weather and rain and not this dry desert that we've had this year.

Since we've made it this far, why not put one down for the record books!
