Aided by drought, a heat wave persisted in late Summer 2000 along the southern tier of the United States from July to early September of that year. Near the end of the period, daily, monthly, and even all-time record high temperatures were broken, with highs commonly peaking well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Cities affected included Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana.
