Summers in North Texas have always been hot, but 2022 is bringing the heat to new highs. On Monday, the foremost weather guru, wfaaweather, delivered a worrisome forecast via tweet: “We will likely gain our 30th triple-digit heat day today.”
North Texans change their behavior during the summer“This sounds so grim and I feel awful saying it, but I was hoping that we wouldn't see futures like this or summers like this for a really long time,” Cecale said. “I’m not necessarily surprised that it's happening, but I'm definitely worried. I do expect that summers will continue to get hotter.”
Cecale said some people are more likely to be affected, such as those whose homes are prone to rolling blackouts. Outdoor laborers could also have a difficult time, including agriculture and construction workers. In addition, harsher summers may harm people who take public transport, since they often have to wait for long periods in the sun, she said. And extreme hot weather could complicate and worsen certain health problems.
People with money can purchase backup generators or enjoy pre-cooling features in their automatic-start cars, Cecale said. They can also afford various types of delivery services. But adjusting to warmer summers could be tougher for those of fewer means, which worries her. Cecale recommends scheduling lots of breaks into hot days. She advises against sitting in the sun for more than an hour or two and endorses drinking loads of water.Officials should also start looking for larger-scale solutions, such as tree projects and better city building.
