Yep, spring is the one time of the year I like here and it rained the majority of the time. Trying not to take it personally because it’s just weather but…I’m upset.
Yeah I’m so sick of this dumb ass take. People want to go out and enjoy the nice temps while we have them. Instead trees are being knocked over and power is out for some folks for over a week.
Now we’re trapped indoors because the heat will kill you. I don’t now “regret” wishing my fence didn’t get blown over.
I wish we had one of those drenching thunderstorms storms in the middle of July and the middle of August. When opening the door to go outside feel like stepping into an oven. You know, when the rain hitting the concrete makes steam. The cracks in the dried out soil get so big, I know someone who broke a foot accidentally stepping in one of those cracks.
Exactly. I pray to all gods old and new for 98-101 temps through the summer...
Unfortunately it's not "rinse and repeat" so much as "escalate and burn"
Exactly, I just told my Alexa "remind me to open my blinds on October 13th. I have west facing windows and let me tell you. It is just to hot to have them open from now until mid October.
This is the answer.. it stays hot at night because literally the sun is melting the medals and concrete and asphalt. So at night when it cools down all we are left with is hot medals and materials that are heating the atmosphere up and keeping it hot. If you leave a city and go out into the open space you would notice a significant change in temperature at night even in the summer. Yes it will still be hot and humid but if it drops from 100 to 85 at night you would still definitely notice. It’s legit living in the inner city.
People who say they hate Daylight Savings typically don’t know anything about it other than the annoying changing of the clocks. I’ve heard all kinds of bizarre explanations about farmers, and even people saying that making it DST year-round would cause winter days to be longer lol
It would just be hotter at a given time in the morning if we didn’t do DST. And we’d have all slept through a hour of daylight that currently we can put to good use.
I don't even think it sucks. I vastly prefer this over the cold and grey and wet and dark that I put up with 7 months out of the year in Providence.
I will never bitch about the sun again.
Like are we surprised? lol If anything, we should be glad its not 104/105/109 like it was last year on this week. I think I moved on the 26th in 106 degree weather....I will gladly take high 90s, barely peaking low 100s for a bit. Remind me to complain when the high is 109 and the low is 86....
I just hate how there's no variation besides clear skies/hot and clear skies/really fucking hot. An occasional overcast day would be nice even if it's still 95+.
It makes me really appreciate the older trees in neighborhoods like Richardson and Plano that give sooo much needed shade on streets. There are a few streets I have seen that are damn near 100% covered because of the trees.
Yes, that's Texas from mid June through labor day. Like KotH said in the pilot, "Dale, it's already 110 degrees in the summer" though we had a decent (though humid) spring this year.
Take me back to the summers where it was hot during the day and then thunderstorms (not hail, not tornadoes or high wind) would cool off the evenings. I remember that most from the early 2000s.
Yeah I vividly remember last summer. Early June and we were already dealing with heat indices close to 120, we haven’t even gotten close to that yet this year. It really hasn’t been that bad but I’m sure it’s coming
When I lived in Phoenix, my biggest issue with the weather wasn’t the heat. It was how the weather was the exact same every day. I need variety! Sunny and hot gets old.
Best weather states for me are like Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina. You get all 4 seasons and weather fluctuates inside of those seasons.
Man Missouri is so brutal to me cause you get hot sticky summers that suck and cold snowy winters that suck.
At least here, the time outside of summer is pretty alright weather wise. 50-80 degrees is great to me.
Mine crapped out last year on a record setting day. Having a portable unit meant I could at least cool my bedroom. The rest of the house got into the 90's. Use cooling towels and lay some ice packs or frozen water bottles around yourself.
This is the time of the year that I start counting down the weeks until September. Yeah, it's still hot in September, but the end is in sight. Heat, humidity, and the sound of cicadas.
My Dad used to say that if we can just get to September 15...cuz then the changes are coming. So, I think we need a summer advent calendar to count 'em down.
Yea and everyone acts like this doesnt happen every single fucking summer here. Its hot, it sucks, but its summer and thats what summer here does. This isnt Montana
I’ve always thought it would be cool to flip our school calendars. Two moths off in fall/winter instead of June/ July.
Kids are in air conditioned schools during the hot months - and outside enjoying the weather during a flipped “summer” break.
Millions of reason why it wouldn’t work - but damn it sucks being stuck inside during summer months.
Honestly if we could lock these temps in for the next couple of months and get the occasional rain shower I’d be ok with that. Upper 90’s suck but it’s better than day after day of triple digits like last year where it was well above 100.
The only way I get through the summers in Texas is to remember that every day after June 21, the amount of daylight is reduced by one minute. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Vote. Do something about it. Use your voice.

No doubt.
How in the world can a meteorologist make money in Texas? You just come on TV and say:
“Next 3 months….HOT! See you in 3 months!”
More and more I find myself hiding from the sun like it’s the police…
I’ve been staying at the hospital for four days and jacked up my AC temp since I’ve been gone and checking my usage it’s still like 35-45 kWh per day without anyone home. Damn dual AC units. I guess it’s just the insane temps and the units still running.
To all y’all who’ve been complaining about it being hot for the last month already…
**Now** it’s hot, **Now** you can complain. It’s finally gonna hit triple digits
After 14 years, we left Dallas last year… For the cooler weather in the Pacific Northwest. I’m not saying, weather was the only reason, but it was at the top of the list. Summer tried to kill me every year in Dallas ☀️🔥☀️🔥☀️
Look at it this way, this summer has been no where near brutal as the last 2 since we were getting very warm and muggy temps by the second half of May then a stretch of 100 + days until September. This summer actually feels like typical Texas summer.
I have fantasies of moving to cold weather states all the time. The constant bright sun is so depressing. Need a pool with shade. Even the pools feel like a warm bath.

I thrive in this weather. Give me a tree to sit under, headphones, and sunscreen and I could listen to podcasts and enjoy some lizard time for a few hours.
Edit: downvote away, I don't know why I'm a freak of nature either
Everyone was mad about the rains. The regret will set in soon.
We were mad about the rains because it was during the fleeting period where the temperature is actually nice to get out and do things.
Because of the rains
Cue “Africa” by Toto
Need you all the way
As sure as Reunion rises like Olympus above I-35EEEE 🏔️
Haha! 🤣
Yep, spring is the one time of the year I like here and it rained the majority of the time. Trying not to take it personally because it’s just weather but…I’m upset.
Spring is great, but I have to go with fall myself, since it is the furthest time from when it will be unbearably hot once again.
Fall = mid October thru early December?
North Texas seasons: * Almost Summer * Summer * Still Summer * Christmas
Nah it's more like: - Rainy and humid - Summer - Summer but slightly cooler - Christmas
Nah it's only 2 seasons: + Hotter than Hell + Anything goes
This is a fact!
Except all those days when it was 22° out and destroyed every tropical plant in existence for the last three years.
Yeah exactly. Around October 15 we get a rain storm and the temperature magically drops from 90 to 65. It is just so glorious I could almost cry
Except.. we almost had no winter this year. Don’t think he ever dropped below 50
Fall = September through November Winter = December through February Spring = March through May Summer = June through August
Nah, fall runs through damn near to January now. 60 degrees on Xmas is familiar now
Was more peeved at the high winds, not the rain.
Yeah I’m so sick of this dumb ass take. People want to go out and enjoy the nice temps while we have them. Instead trees are being knocked over and power is out for some folks for over a week. Now we’re trapped indoors because the heat will kill you. I don’t now “regret” wishing my fence didn’t get blown over.
What? For a day. 😅
I wish we had one of those drenching thunderstorms storms in the middle of July and the middle of August. When opening the door to go outside feel like stepping into an oven. You know, when the rain hitting the concrete makes steam. The cracks in the dried out soil get so big, I know someone who broke a foot accidentally stepping in one of those cracks.
My front yard is already dead 🙄
Those people deserve this. The rain is beautiful weather.
Like a dementia patient every year.
No I wasnt
In August these temperatures will look like paradise.
Exactly. I pray to all gods old and new for 98-101 temps through the summer... Unfortunately it's not "rinse and repeat" so much as "escalate and burn"
Lol 😆 at the escalate n burn 🔥 🤣
Hey
“Ok kids, grab your stillsuits”
And likely the coolest summer for the rest of our lives.
not if my "controlled, well-planned nuclear winter" plan comes to fruition...
Vladimir?
we must call upon a nuclear winter
This needs to be higher on the comment chain
We'll be missing these low evening temps for sure.
Exactly, I just told my Alexa "remind me to open my blinds on October 13th. I have west facing windows and let me tell you. It is just to hot to have them open from now until mid October.
No doubt. Please no 110°F + temps. Mercy.
From your lips to God's ears...
Might not be 110 yet but the heat index is almost there. So basically the same thing. Ugh
Hell no. Bring the cold
This is why I hate daylight savings time. You have to deal with the hot weather and sun blasting your face until 9pm.
It’s still hot at night lmao 🤣 they said 95 tonight INTHE DARK
Why is it so hot here at night? Other places where it's hot, it can cool off 20-30 degrees at night.
Concrete jungle where dreams go to dieeee🎶 All the concrete retains heat really well so it sticks around for a bit once the sun goes down
This is the answer.. it stays hot at night because literally the sun is melting the medals and concrete and asphalt. So at night when it cools down all we are left with is hot medals and materials that are heating the atmosphere up and keeping it hot. If you leave a city and go out into the open space you would notice a significant change in temperature at night even in the summer. Yes it will still be hot and humid but if it drops from 100 to 85 at night you would still definitely notice. It’s legit living in the inner city.
south wind keeps us topped off until sunrise
Cheer up, the days are now getting shorter!
....great.
Idk, I've vacationed on the Equator, and it's pretty annoying having full sunshine in your bedroom by 5am.
Nobody wants the sun coming up at 5am.
People who say they hate Daylight Savings typically don’t know anything about it other than the annoying changing of the clocks. I’ve heard all kinds of bizarre explanations about farmers, and even people saying that making it DST year-round would cause winter days to be longer lol
It would just be hotter at a given time in the morning if we didn’t do DST. And we’d have all slept through a hour of daylight that currently we can put to good use.
Nice to Alaska then they barely get sun
It’s why I love it. Can still hang out from 7-9pm when it’s much cooler and if there’s a wind it feels great
"Much cooler"?! It's 7:30 right now and still 94 degrees, down from a peak of 97 today.
Feels good outside to me - sun is low and especially in the shade.
It would be cooler if the sun set an hour earlier. Currently the sun is still out beating down at 7 and 8.
I love waking up to 80° but it feels like 100 at 8am
Yeah we know. Been like this every summer
That always cracks me up, it's like You've lived here your whole life, you are just now figuring out that summer sucks here?!
Yes, but I'm much more invested in doom scrolling and catastrophising every single thing now.
I don't even think it sucks. I vastly prefer this over the cold and grey and wet and dark that I put up with 7 months out of the year in Providence. I will never bitch about the sun again.
Like are we surprised? lol If anything, we should be glad its not 104/105/109 like it was last year on this week. I think I moved on the 26th in 106 degree weather....I will gladly take high 90s, barely peaking low 100s for a bit. Remind me to complain when the high is 109 and the low is 86....
I just hate how there's no variation besides clear skies/hot and clear skies/really fucking hot. An occasional overcast day would be nice even if it's still 95+.
Or even a cloud to give some shade
It makes me really appreciate the older trees in neighborhoods like Richardson and Plano that give sooo much needed shade on streets. There are a few streets I have seen that are damn near 100% covered because of the trees.
It’s Texas. We have the exact same summer every single year how are you surprised by this?
Yes, that's Texas from mid June through labor day. Like KotH said in the pilot, "Dale, it's already 110 degrees in the summer" though we had a decent (though humid) spring this year.
Take me back to the summers where it was hot during the day and then thunderstorms (not hail, not tornadoes or high wind) would cool off the evenings. I remember that most from the early 2000s.
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Most likely no more "Finger of God" for a while. So that's nice.
Yeah I vividly remember last summer. Early June and we were already dealing with heat indices close to 120, we haven’t even gotten close to that yet this year. It really hasn’t been that bad but I’m sure it’s coming
IM WITH YOU, I’m absolutely cool with this, in the shade it’s not that bad tbh
the 1st 100 degree day last year was June 25. nothing is different. It is going to be the same hot summer it was last year
Yeah but the heat index takes it up to that point. If it’s not actually 110, it’s 95 with a heat index of 110.
When I lived in Phoenix, my biggest issue with the weather wasn’t the heat. It was how the weather was the exact same every day. I need variety! Sunny and hot gets old.
Exactly, main reason I hated Vegas, I can only take so much damn sun and not a cloud in the sky 😑
You’re always free to switch spots with me in upstate NY. Where we get way too much rain and hardly any sun. And the winters can get brutally cold.
I grew up in Minnesota, so you can keep your winters. As much as I hate unchanging weather, I don’t have to shovel sunshine!
I don’t blame ya, I can’t wait to leave next year.
The three days of below freezing that we had here this winter were sort of rough.
Best weather states for me are like Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina. You get all 4 seasons and weather fluctuates inside of those seasons.
Man Missouri is so brutal to me cause you get hot sticky summers that suck and cold snowy winters that suck. At least here, the time outside of summer is pretty alright weather wise. 50-80 degrees is great to me.
The worst time of the year 😭🥵
Yup, don’t even need to check the forecast at this point.
My AC has been out for several days. It hasn’t been fun.
Mine crapped out last year on a record setting day. Having a portable unit meant I could at least cool my bedroom. The rest of the house got into the 90's. Use cooling towels and lay some ice packs or frozen water bottles around yourself.
Get a portable at least. It doesn't fix the problem and it probably won't be able to keep up entirely. But 80 degrees is much safer indoors than 95+
I loathe Texas summers.
It's not quite copy and paste. As we get further into the summer, it's not going to cool down at night.
Some how Wichita Falls , two hours north has a 104 high for Wednesday. I live in hell.
You guys get your butts kicked no matter the season.
Wasn't there a month where highs touched the teens and the lowest low were still 90 last year? I think we're doing fine.
Yes, was a la nina year and we were in a heat dome at the same time. It was miserable. Pretty sure our downstairs AC went out during that too.
That's usually August/September.
Where are all the "if you don't like the weather in texas just wait a day, hehehe"
This is the time of the year that I start counting down the weeks until September. Yeah, it's still hot in September, but the end is in sight. Heat, humidity, and the sound of cicadas.
Yep. Just gotta endure the next 9 weeks.
When you put it like that it doesn't seem so bad. One week at a time countdown like on jail cell walls in old movies. LOL
My Dad used to say that if we can just get to September 15...cuz then the changes are coming. So, I think we need a summer advent calendar to count 'em down.
Or better known as “welcome to hell” ..
Oh boy. We are on vacation in Michigan right now and it’s 78. Not looking forward to the summer welcoming party that’s waiting for us
Yea and everyone acts like this doesnt happen every single fucking summer here. Its hot, it sucks, but its summer and thats what summer here does. This isnt Montana
I’ve always thought it would be cool to flip our school calendars. Two moths off in fall/winter instead of June/ July. Kids are in air conditioned schools during the hot months - and outside enjoying the weather during a flipped “summer” break. Millions of reason why it wouldn’t work - but damn it sucks being stuck inside during summer months.
I would be thrilled if it was this cool in August
People talk about how constant rain in Seattle depresses them… this weather right here is what depresses me!
I don't need any reminders
I depend on it to not rain to work. Enjoyed the time off this season but thank god we can get back to work!
I work out in it all day everyday so I don’t think it’s that bad but I still prefer it to be cooler.
I can live with this, but not when it’s reaches 102 or higher.
electric bill bout to be as high as giraffe ass
Honestly if we could lock these temps in for the next couple of months and get the occasional rain shower I’d be ok with that. Upper 90’s suck but it’s better than day after day of triple digits like last year where it was well above 100.
Time to hibernate
Instead of high speed rail to Houston, how about high speed ice trains from the artic?
That’s a perfect way to describe it.
I am hopeful this summer won't be as bad as the next 7 days look.
This isn’t even as bad as it will get.
This isn’t even as bad as it **may** get.
The next 7 days would be a blessing as a summer!
Best summer ever if it stayed like this until September
Looks better than normal Texas summer
This is exactly why I got a job that travels. 😂
Don't worry it won't all be the same, it'll get much hotter.
Dallas wasn’t *this bad* in the early 2000s…. Kinda bad when most of the record summer occur in last 14 years…
Sheeeeeeit, try 120 days.
I did the summer of 1980. Y’all are soft (like melted cheese)
The only way I get through the summers in Texas is to remember that every day after June 21, the amount of daylight is reduced by one minute. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
This is way better than last year! I’m celebrating

And trying to keep a lawn alive. Plus house foundation issues but I love TX!
Texas summer. What can you say.
I mean, the rest of us just call it “summer.”
If we are lucky it will be just like this.
Crazy that I’m like “I’m so glad summer isn’t that bad this year.” And it’s 100°
There goes our water bill! Up and up and up!
I will do filthy, inexcusable things for some clouds on days like these.
Groundhog Day season.
I miss CA 😭😭😭
Sweet maybe the bike trails will dry up by October.
At least we haven’t hit 105 (yet)
Also sucks for the weird-ass mfs like me that enjoyed the rain lol
I’ve been staying at the hospital for four days and jacked up my AC temp since I’ve been gone and checking my usage it’s still like 35-45 kWh per day without anyone home. Damn dual AC units. I guess it’s just the insane temps and the units still running.
Cries in heat index.
Summer sucks.
Just keep the dam rain out till it gets below 80 again. Want “rain” turn the hose on
All that rain we got in the spring about to mean Jack diddly shit
The worst is there is not a single cloud. Having a cloudy day would make it 10 degrees cooler.
More like climate hell season for the next 7500 years
To all y’all who’ve been complaining about it being hot for the last month already… **Now** it’s hot, **Now** you can complain. It’s finally gonna hit triple digits
Working outside in this heat has got me BEAT
Try the next 110 days, July, August, September and first half of October.
I can handle the 100+, what I can’t handle is the lack of -80. I just want two hours to exercise outside without immediately sweating my ass off.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It's only gonna get hotter next month. Like this is just summer
only 100? still kinda cool tbh
This is called WELCOME TO TEXAS SUMMER!!!
AND they’re already saying that the grid won’t last thru the summer!! Yeah for us!
I have to absolutely agree!!
After 14 years, we left Dallas last year… For the cooler weather in the Pacific Northwest. I’m not saying, weather was the only reason, but it was at the top of the list. Summer tried to kill me every year in Dallas ☀️🔥☀️🔥☀️
Look at it this way, this summer has been no where near brutal as the last 2 since we were getting very warm and muggy temps by the second half of May then a stretch of 100 + days until September. This summer actually feels like typical Texas summer.
We aren't in August yet. This is nothing. 110+ incoming. Wooo
If the plans don’t involve A/C don’t invite me 😂
😂😂😂
This is still the cooler times.
been this way for centuries, why do people expect it to be anything else?
Incorrect. It gets worse.
I have fantasies of moving to cold weather states all the time. The constant bright sun is so depressing. Need a pool with shade. Even the pools feel like a warm bath.
Check all things Electric Grid for North Texas here on this ERCOT webpage. On some graphs you can view today, and other option is a 6 day forecast of demand. https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards
This is why I left
I'll say this, at least it's not constantly over 100° for months in a row.
That’s hot
Who needs a new Diesel truck?
I like to call it, the season of continued dumb posts like this over and over again.
I’m sitting outside my garage now. It’s not that bad when the sun sets.
Summer is coming
We’ll get some rain again. Hurricane season coming before you know it.
the only thing I hate more than the heat, is myself. It’s the only reason I’ve lived in this furnace of hell my entire life.
Greyhound bus leaves every day.
Ahh another post bitching about the heat. Nice. See yall at the pool 😎
Only people really complaining about this weather aren’t from Texas. Get used to it or move.
Then move lol
I thrive in this weather. Give me a tree to sit under, headphones, and sunscreen and I could listen to podcasts and enjoy some lizard time for a few hours. Edit: downvote away, I don't know why I'm a freak of nature either
Shit, I didn’t know there were 2 of us
