On Wednesday, San Antonio felt the heat like never before, with temperatures soaring to a blistering 108 degrees at the San Antonio International Airport. This sweltering day marked the hottest recorded temperature in the city since June 29, 2013.
Wednesday’s high not only broke local records but also set a new benchmark for August 21. To put this into perspective, 108°F ranks as the fourth hottest temperature ever documented in San Antonio’s history, a list that includes earlier scorches of 111°F in 2000 and 110°F in 2011.
Rank | Temperature (°F) | Date |
---|---|---|
1st | 111 | 9/5/2000 |
2nd | 110 | 8/28/2011 |
3rd | 109 | 9/4/2000 |
4th | 108 | 8/21/2024 |
Despite the overall heat this summer being less intense compared to the brutal summer of 2023, this August has still managed to maintain a temperature level much hotter than the average. Notably, June exhibited a severe heat index reaching 117 degrees due to humidity, indicating the ongoing challenge of high temperatures in the region.
Fortunately, there is a silver lining as the forecast is predicting a drop in temperatures. As the heat wave weakens, highs are expected to fall below 100 degrees in the coming days, offering some much-needed relief to the sun-baked residents of San Antonio.
As the city sits under intense sun and record temperatures, one thing is clear: San Antonio’s weather continues to challenge its residents during these late summer months. While 108°F was a stark reminder of the heat, cooler temperatures are expected soon, bringing relief after an intense day in the Alamo City.
