For Thursday, August 31
The high temperature at my weather station in
Temple, Texas (120 miles S of Dallas) reached
106.6 degrees today, the 4th highest temperature
ever recorded in the ten year history of my
station. This was the second highest temperature
this year which was 106.9 degrees on July 15. It
was the 15th day this month and the 27th day this
year that the temperature has reached 100 degrees.
I have gone 23 days without precipitation and have
received only 0.30" in the 63 days.
