High temperatures on Sunday set a new record for North Texas, according to the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office.
The daytime temperature at D-FW International Airport reached 95 degrees at 4 p.m., which is two degrees higher than the previous record set in 1934 and 1995, the weather service said.
Temperatures Friday and Saturday for Dallas-Fort Worth were also forecast to shatter previous high temperature records, but they remained below the threshold.
The warmer-than-normal conditions are expected to continue through the end of May, according to the weather service.
