Throughout the summer of 2023, the National Weather Service has been issuing Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories for Denton County. The Dallas-Fort Worth region has experienced 47 days with 100+ degree days.
“While there is no official definition of a heatwave, we often categorize extended periods of triple-digit temperatures, particularly 105 F+ days, as constituting a heatwave in North Texas,” Daniel Huckaby, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Fort Worth office (NWS), said.
