Last year was the hottest ever recorded in Texas | San Antonio
Last year was the hottest ever recorded in Texas, with an average temperature of 68.1 degrees, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This surpasses the previous record set in 2012 by 0.3 degrees. The state has experienced a broader warming trend, with every year since 2000 being warmer than the 20th-century average. The consistent warmth is attributed to climate change, with major contributors being coal, oil, and gas emissions that trap heat. This extreme heat poses threats to human health, farming, and environmental conditions.
