OK so you are talking "days in a year" over 100 degrees; NOT "days in a row" over 100 degrees. Which is what I thought was being discussed. It is not clear in the OP which he meant.

But I will agree that "days in a year over 100 degrees" still has a chance.

When you really think about it, how rediculous is it to be comparing how many days over 100 Austin will have this year. Gee, basically, how many days will you have to continue staying in your house day in and day out.

Whose keeping track of number of NICE days in a row in Austin? Oh wait, that wouldn't be any fun.

Well, seeing that we've broken into the top five, it's an inevitable topic. Wait. Who's the OP?

Besides, it's hard to really count how many GREAT days/yr we have. Right?!?!

Sad for you that you stay in your house day in and day out.

Well, I don't know how many 'nice' summer days we've had in the 4 summers we've been here. IF the 'average' summer high is 95 degrees(as I've read more than once), then Mother Nature 'owes' me four summers of highs around 89/90 to balance the four summers of various record-setting high temps(averages of 100+ for MANY days of the last four summer seasons). Just sayin'

Had a mini-detail today. Trying to do my part. Unfortunately, it just meant that our HOA landscape folks set the sprinklers to soak the roads just in time for my drive home . Dang!

The summers of 2004 and 2007 had some days in the low 80's even in July. This was when Lake Travis got so high from seasonal rains that they had to open the floodgates. The summer of 2007 was so cool and rainy that people had signs that said "Welcome to Seattle".
