Editor’s Note: On Thursday, August 22, 2024, a 46-year-old woman died on a sidewalk in the Five Points area of San Antonio in the midst of a brutal heat wave—an apparent victim of the day’s extreme temperatures. While the official high that day reached 106° Fahrenheit, those temps are taken on the northside at San Antonio International Airport.
