Today should be our 3rd consecutive afternoon at 100 degrees. It’s not uncommon to go the entire summer without reaching the triple digits, so it’s safe to so the heat is unusual. We haven’t broken any high temperature records and don’t expect to, but the duration of this heat wave is very impressive.

We’ve already had 2 days at 100 degrees; the last time that happened was 8 years ago in July of 1999.

If we reach 100 degrees today that will be 3 days in a row; the last time that happened was 17 years ago in August of 1990.

19 years ago, Nashville recorded 6 consecutive days in the triple digits.

The Nashville record for consecutive triple digit heat is 8 days, set back in June of 1952.
