DFW’s Summer 2026 one of the hottest & driest ever
Expect another warm and dry day today with highs and heat indices peaking in the 90s and triple digits. Occasionally breezy winds with gusts up to around 20 mph are expected, and will keep the elevated fire threat going across parts of North and Central Texas this afternoon.
Expect returning chances for showers and storms Sunday through Tuesday. Severe weather is not anticipated, but some stronger storms could produce gusty winds and small hail. Otherwise, above normal temperatures will persist early in the week, but will be in the 90s region-wide.
The rest of next week beyond Wednesday will be warm and dry, with afternoon highs reaching into the 90s each day. Little in the way of rain is expected Wednesday through Friday.
Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will lead to an elevated fire threat this afternoon across parts of North and Central Texas. Know how you can help prevent wildfires!
Through today, DFW remains at 52 days in the 100s this year, tying the 5th most on record. However, DFW is up to 65 days in a row with no measurable rain - only 2 days from tying the 2nd longest dry stretch on record. Rain chances return Sunday, so it'll be a close call.
