As scorching as this week in North Texas is, things were somehow worse 43 years ago.
But as blazingly hot as June 27, 2023, was in Dallas, it’s not the hottest day in Dallas history. That was, 43 years ago today, when Dallas endured an all-time record 113 degree high temperature. The highest heat index for Tuesday is predicted to hit"only" 111 degrees, and on Wednesday, 112, so even those scorching metrics for this week can’t match what folks in town a generation ago endured.
That 1980 record temp was set in the midst of a historic heat wave. Temperatures reached the century mark on more than 40 consecutive days and totaled almost 70 by the end of that year.that “the summer of 1980 broke or tied 29 daily records, 24 of which stand three decades later. The highest of those highs — the twin 113-degree readings on June 26 and 27 — are likely to stand for some time yet.”was right about that.
“The heat wave of 1980, one of the worst in modern history in both magnitude and duration in Texas, was responsible for at least 60 deaths in the state, and nearly 1,300 deaths nationwide,” the report stated. “Heatwave fatalities far outnumbered fatalities from other weather phenomena.”
