July was worse than average for heat in North Texas, according to the National Weather Service.

As of July 31, we had piled up 23 days of 100-plus degrees. That year-to-date number is the 8th most all-time.

There was only 1.25 inches of precipitation at DFW Airport between June 1 and July 31 - the sixth-lowest total in history.

The average temperature of 86.7 degrees between June 1 and July 31 makes it the 10th warmest such period in DFW history.
