In the first 19 days of meteorological summer (June-August), 10 heat records have been tied or broken at Austin/Mabry and 11 at Austin/Bergstrom.
With an average temperature of 87.7° so far this month, Austin/Mabry is well ahead of the blistering pace set by the 86.6° in June 2009 which led to the hottest summer in 155 years of official weather records.
