We know the question on your mind, Fort Worthians — when’s it going to cool off? The good news: thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center, we know what temperatures and precipitation trends to expect in our city for June, July, and August.

While exact weather conditions typically can’t be predicted more than a week in advance, here’s a seasonal outlook to help you prepare for the rest of summer will bring.

Reminder: The summer solstice is on Thursday, June 20.

Jumping up in temp June

Typically in Fort Worth, June’s temperatures fluctuate between an average low of 70° and an average high of 91°, but expect to see more of those 100°-days this year. Pro tip: June has an average daily maximum UV index of 7, so don’t slack on the sunscreen.

Just stay inside July

In July, the average high and low temps are between 76° + 97°. There isn’t much rainfall, so plan for hot, clear days, perfect for splashing around at the newly reopened Forest Park Pool. Did you know? The average first 100-degree day of the year is July 1 + July 31 is historically the hottest day of the year.

Almost over August

Historically, average highs in August drop ~4° to 93°, with an average low of 74°. August leads us towards autumn as the first month of the year when we see temperatures begin to decline — but with a greater chance of high temps this year, that might not happen. Bonus: July’s peak humidity tends to wain a bit in August, with an average of 67% humidity. We’re already sighing with relief.

    Hi, my name is...

    Normalize naming kids after something you love

    Put down that baby name book, we’ve got all the trendiest names right here. | Graphics by FTWtoday
    Last week, we jumped on the “normalize naming kids after something you love” social media trend. We proposed some of our favorite Fort Worth icons + garnered humorous name suggestions from our readers.

    Destination designations

    You can’t go wrong with taking baby Cultural District, Magnolia, Trinity Duck Pond, or Marine Creek Trail for a tour of their namesake.

    Model monikers

    We’re betting that Forest Park Miniature Railroad, Stockyards Twice-daily Cattle Drive, and Bass Hall Angel Sculpture will be the only kid with that name in their kindergarten class.

    Nutritious nicknames

    If you’re expecting a new family member and feeling a little peckish, don’t sleep on Coco Shrimp, Buffalo Bros, Buc-ee’s, or Salsa Limon.

    Beverage bylines

    Make sure you get your little Cherry Coffee, Tarantula Tiki Lounge, or Tulane’s Fort Worth a drink of water before bed.

    If you do name your kid FTWtoday, please let us know. They will automatically be signed up for free newsletters for life.
