No, I'm gonna be pregnant forever! At least that's how I'm starting to feel! Air tends to be drier in much of the West in the summer, and dry air is able to heat more readily than moist air. Temperatures in areas closer to the West Coast are influenced by the cool Pacific Ocean, reducing the degree heat there.
The Plains is also an area of the country that typically experiences degree heat each summer. The Rocky Mountains, to the west of the Plains, are a major influence on these high temperatures. Downsloping winds can aid in higher temperatures, and the region's location between the Rockies, but also far enough away from the Gulf of Mexico, can lead to drier air.
Unsurprisingly, the Southern Plains — which has several cities in the triple-digit club — experiences more frequent extreme heat compared to the Northern Plains due to the difference in latitude. Dallas is one of those cities. The average date for the first of many degree days is July 3.

This is more likely to occur when high pressure dominates the Midwest in the summer with a southerly flow.
