Our Arctic blast this past week broke many temperature records at DFW Airport, the official climate site for the DFW Metroplex. DFW went below freezing at approximately 4:53 pm on February 18, 2025, and did not get above freezing until, yesterday, February 21, 2025 at around 3:59 pm. That is 71 consecutive hours of subfreezing temperatures. Far from our record of 295 hours, set in December 1983, but notable nonetheless, especially so late in the winter season. During that time several temperature records were broken as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A record low maximum temperature was set on February 19th of 28\u00b0F which broke the old record of 31\u00b0F set in 2006 and 1903.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A record low temperature of 12\u00b0F was set on February 20th breaking the old record of 19\u00b0F set in 1939.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A record low maximum temperature was set on February 20th of 31\u00b0F which broke the old record of 35\u00b0F set in 1904.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. A record low maximum temperature was set on February 21st of 33\u00b0F which broke the old record of 37\u00b0F set in 1911.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
