DALLAS — We're still more than three weeks off from the start of meteorological summer, and almost a month and a half away from summer's astronomical start.
Alas, it seems no one told Mother Nature about that.
On Wednesday afternoon, temperatures soared all across North Texas, with the heat at DFW International Airport reaching as high as 95 degrees.
That, folks, is some record-tying heat! And what a record indeed: The last time temperatures around these parts were recorded this high on this date came 91 years ago, all the way back in 1933.
In other words: No, you're not crazy for thinking it's already starting to feel like summer around these parts.
The humidity wasn't exactly helping matters on Wednesday, either.
Across North Texas, various heat index recordings hit triple-digit temperatures!
In fact, DFW Airport even saw its heat index reach 107 degrees on Wednesday evening.
Yeesh!
It should be noted, of course, that this isn't even North Texas' first 90-degree day of the year.
That milestone, you may recall, was reached all the way back in late February, when temperatures reached a staggering 94 degrees, shattering a record that had stood in place for 107 years!
And we also hit 90 degrees earlier this week, as temperatures climbed to the 90s and reached a high of 91 degrees on Tuesday -- which was warm, for sure, but not warm enough to be a record.
The good news? Cooler temperatures are expected this weekend, with highs dipping down into the high 70s.
