Okay, so it is actually probably a lot easier to believe it than to doubt the painfully obvious.

As NASA put it on their website:

Summer of 2023 was Earth’s hottest since global records began in 1880

The site goes on to point out the painfully obvious:

“Summer 2023’s record-setting temperatures aren’t just a set of numbers – they result in dire real-world consequences. From sweltering temperatures in Arizona and across the country, to wildfires across Canada, and extreme flooding in Europe and Asia, extreme weather is threatening lives and livelihoods around the world,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

Not only did Mother Nature crank up the heat in Shreveport in June and July, we followed that up on August 25th by tying the record highest temperature ever recorded in Shreveport.  That record of 110 degrees has only been recorded once before and that was way back in 1909.

We've had several other days, including one day in September that have etched themselves into the record book as the hottest days ever recorded in Shreveport.
