Description
Only a little more than two years after Winter Storm Uri put Texas in a deep freeze, the summer of 2023 was, by many measures, the hottest summer on record for San Antonio. In this class, we will not only discuss ‘How Hot Was It?, but we will also explore some of the reasons for the high temperatures, and consider the potential impacts of increasing weather extremes on our city. We will discuss whether the heat of 2023 is a one-off exception, or an indication of summers to come. And if there is more heat ahead, are there steps that we can be taking to better prepare for a warmer future?
