The average date of the first 100 degree day in DFW is June 30. David Finfrock NBC 5 Senior Meteorologist asks: How many days each year typically reach the 100 degree mark?
It is official: Triple-digit temperatures have arrived in North Texas.
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport hit 101 degrees on Friday, June 22. The following Sunday was close with the high reaching 99 degrees.
Our first 100-degree day came a little ahead of schedule. The average date for the first triple digit day is July 1.

[EXTERNAL] My dog, Pluto -- in a contest! Hello! We are down to the final days of voting with the contest wrapping up on June 30th. Help us pull ahead of our Michigan competitor to bring home the win for Fort Worth, Texas! Thank you.Press ReleaseFort Worth Dog Runs For Humane Society Beds AwardFort Worth, TX (June 25) — Not long after North Richland Hills residents Victoria and Hunter Nelson arrived to take new jobs in the Fort Worth area in 2014, the newlyweds bought a new home and began to acquire furnishings.But it was all too perfect.Something was sorely missing: Barking, veterinary bills, misbehavior, chewed furniture legs and occasional accidents on new, deep pile rugs, for example.To fill the void, they made the next move to adopt a stray black mixed breed pup from the nearby Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT). The Humane Society had found the puppy only days earlier, roaming the streets of Fort Worth, scared and hungry.It was love at first sight. And out of pity for the demoted planet Pluto and love of the Disney character, Victoria and Hunter named their new family member accordingly.Moved by the adoption experience, Victoria soon enough signed up to volunteer at HSNT. She didn’t need the Hubble Space Telescope to see the need for responsible rescue, quality temporary care and placement for animals that the organization provides to North Texans.Today, Pluto brings joy to the Nelson home, whether he’s awake or not. By day, noise from the refrigerator ice maker beckons Pluto for a favorite but rather odd snack, an ice cube or two he chews to pieces within seconds. By night, or whenever he’s sleeping which is often throughout the day, Pluto dreams, snorting, barking or kicking unconsciously in his slumber.It’s only natural that the subject of sleep motivated Pluto to track down the local Keller location of HSNT on the final leg of his June campaign trail to win the election for Dog of the Month as awarded by national pet bed manufacturer, Kuranda.Victoria shares that, while still subject to further

With such oppressive heat in the forecast, North Texans are reminded to check on their friends and loved ones with health problems as they may be among the most susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
As always, never leave young children or pets unattended in an enclosed vehicle, even for a short amount of time, as temperatures can quickly rise to threatening levels.
Pets should not be left unattended outdoors for more than a few minutes.
Water is the cornerstone to staying safe this week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Officials said it's important to start drinking before becoming thirsty and if you know you're going to be out in the heat, begin drinking water the night before.
Officials recommend staying indoors, but anyone who must be outside should drink a cup of water about every 20 minutes and wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.
Symptoms of Heat Stroke: CDC
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the symptoms of heat stroke include hot, dry skin or profuse sweating; hallucinations, chills, throbbing headache, high body temperature, confusion/dizziness and slurred speech.
Take the following steps to treat a worker with heat stroke: Call 911 and notify their supervisor. Move the sick worker to a cool shaded area. Cool the worker using methods such as: Soaking their clothes with water. Spraying, sponging, or showering them with water. Fanning their body.
Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion: CDC
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the symptoms of heat exhaustion include heavy sweating, extreme weakness or fatigue, dizziness and confusion, nausea, clammy or moist skin, pale or flushed complexion, muscle cramps, slightly elevated body temperature and fast or shallow breathing.
Treat a worker suffering from heat exhaustion with the following: Have them rest in a cool, shaded or air-conditioned area. Have them drink plenty of water or other cool, nonalcoholic beverages. Have them take a cool shower, bath, or sponge bath.
