Heatwave grips Dallas, but August may bring storm chances and cooler air
North Texas is facing one of the hottest stretches of the summer, with temperatures surging into the upper 90s and triple digits as July draws to a close. A heat advisory is currently in effect for multiple areas across the region, with heat index values expected to reach between 102 and 105 degrees. This extreme heat is being caused by a high-pressure system building back over Texas, significantly reducing the chance for rainfall and increasing both temperature and humidity levels.
