Denton County has passed through a winter ice storm and severe spring storms. The focus now shifts to extreme heat, which is the deadliest weather hazard of the year.

Excessive heat claims more lives annually than tornadoes and hurricanes combined. In June, the average high temperature was slightly above normal, while the average overnight low was notably higher than usual.

Further information on June's weather patterns, including rainfall totals, is available from the Cross Timbers Gazette. Readers can refer to the source for more details on the weather conditions in Denton County.
