The struggle to keep cool during the hottest summer in Central Texas weather history seems to be a distant memory by now.

However, at the peak of the heat in August, the News 8 Weather Team put out the call for prognostications.

They challenged all News 8 viewers to guess how many triple digit days would be seen and when the final 100-plus degree weather day would be.

Thirteen viewers predicted correctly:

• Sungkoo Bae, Austin
• Stephen Koon, Round Rock
• Kent Duran, Lago Vista
• Laura Lopez, Austin
• Katherine Mireles, Martindale
• Margie Novak, Austin
• Lincoln Nunes, Austin
• Robert Robbins, Austin
• Jeff Roberts, Austin
• Allan Rubino, Waco
• Savanah Slaughter, Austin
• Kim Walston, Leander
• Cheryl Wilkinson, Austin

In all, Austin hit 100 degree-plus temperatures 68 times and Waco met or exceeded 100 degree days 55 times.

No one correctly guessed the final triple digit day of 2009, which came Thursday, September 3, in both Austin and Waco.
