Southern Plains
20 days of at least 100°F

Dallas-Fort Worth has had 20 days of temperatures reaching at least 100°F this summer, with more expected.
Dallas-Fort Worth has had 20 days of temperatures reaching at least 100°F this summer, with more expected.

Century-old records could fall in parts of the southern Plains as high-pressure pumps hot & humid air out of the Gulf. Multiple rounds of intense heat this summer have produced dozens of 90°F+ days, with one major city officially having 20 days at or over 100°F, with more to come.

Oklahoma City and Dallas-Fort Worth residents have been staying in the A.C. this summer thanks to several high-pressure systems setting up camp and leaving oven doors wide open. Multiple records have been broken or set, and Dallas-Fort Worth has officially had 20 days of 100°F+ heat, with the Weather & Radar app forecast detailing more for the weekend and even into the 14-day forecast period.

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. 155 mph winds. . Weather Videos. Wednesday, July 8, 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
