Remember the summer? Remember how miserably hot it was? You ready for some more of that?!
Unfortunately, a new study found that hotter days seem to be ahead for Texas, along with an increase in the chances for severe weather. Yay!
Dr. John-Nielson-Gammon, the state's climatologist at Texas A&M University, and his team studied decades of weather records, and have determined that we should "expect hotter days and more intense severe weather in the future." That means the number of triple-digit days is expected to trend upward.
Dr. Gammon's research also found that the average number of 100-degree-plus days has tripled since the 1970s.
According to KVUE, the study also found that extreme rainfall is also expected to worsen, so much so that they are predicting urban flooding to increase by 30% to 50%.
