Notes

Description from donor: "An August 27, 2023 tweet by WFAA and Dallas based meteorologist Pete Delkus showing the daily temperatures for August 2023. This month was the hottest on record in DFW and broke a number of daily heat records for the county. I think this is important and interesting to record information like this. Summer 2023 was characterized by numerous climate catastrophes indicative of the state of our planet. These records also affected UNT students who had to walk across campus to class in 110 weather."
