WILDFIRE DATA for CANADIAN. For 1-min, the temps exceed 140 deg F below 2-meters. Wind gusted to 60 mph along the wall of fire/cold front. The 2-meter anemometer is partially melted. The low-level radiation shields are also impacted. The good news is that it's still working!

Is this DFW's hottest summer ever? While it is hard to quantify "the hottest summer ever", here are some climate stats that give us an idea on how 2023 compares to other very hot summers.
