Yeah. But Australia is in the other hemisphere...

When's the last time Texas had a 106 winter day?

Imagine it being 106°f in January/February.

Pffft, that's practically chilly for January. Americans can't imagine a 41 degree day in February? What a bunch of wimps!

Feb 21, 1996… it hit 100 degrees in San Antonio, Texas so it’s done it in Winter as recently as… 30 years ago. (Just made me remember because I was there)

Christmas hitting 85 is fairly normal now and i might have seen one closer to or maybe just over 90, but definitely never in the 100's. Maybe out in west Texas it might have reached higher, but a meteorologist would need to dig that data up.
