The Dallas-Fort Worth area endured record-breaking temperatures last month — and, unfortunately for North Texans, the relentless heat won’t be letting up any time soon.
Weather conditions compound heatOne is the position of jet streams, or bands of wind in the upper atmosphere that cause weather changes. For the past several weeks, a jet stream has been over the south-central part of the country, which keeps precipitation in the northern part of the U.S. and prolongs hot days.
Another explanation for the heat is La Niña conditions, which affect the flow and position of the jet stream. La Niña refers to the ocean temperature in the Pacific, specifically near the equator, being cooler than normal.La Niña also leads to drier-than-normal seasons, and statewide drought conditions further compound the problem.
July 2022 tied July 2000 as the second-driest July since 1900, with only trace amounts of rain recorded. In July 1993, there was no precipitation at all.Unfortunately for North Texans, the blistering heat is likely to continue through at least the beginning of August.“It looks like we’re going to continue with above-normal temperatures for a while,” said Jason Dunn, a meteorologist with the weather service in Fort Worth.
