| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Triple digit daytime temperatures and warm overnight lows gripped nearly all of north Texas for the entire month of July. A few records for daily high temperatures were set or tied, but several records for highest minimum temperatures were set. Dallas/Fort Worth set a new all-time record highest minimum temperature of 86 degrees on the 26th. The prolonged heat took its toll on North Texans and there were 15 heat related deaths; most of them occurring in Dallas County. There were many more heat related illnesses. A Heat Advisory was in effect from the 11th through the 18th, and then again from the 23rd through the end of the month. The triple digit heat this month began a streak that would challenge previous records for most consecutive 100 degree days and greatest annual 100 degree days. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Triple digit temperatures were recorded every day during the month of July. A 9-month old baby died inside a vehicle on the 5th. She did have a pre-existing medical condition, but the medical examiner determined that the heat exacerbated her condition resulting in her death. Temperatures around the time of death were in the upper 90s with heat index values near 100 degrees. |
