From Times Wire Reports
Record-setting heat continued to bake the region as northern Texas entered its 66th day without rain. Dallas hit 111 degrees--an all-time high for the day and the highest temperature ever recorded in the city in September, the National Weather Service said. The previous record for the month was 109, set in 1980; the highest ever was 113, set in June of the same year. Temperatures have been 100 degrees or higher on 42 days so far this year, well above last year, when there were 33 days in the triple digits.
