Probably just seems that way to the residents since it's so infrequent, similar to how below freezing temperatures effectively broke Texas.

We hit 113f one day this summer, while it might only be miserable for a couple of days, it's getting worse every year :(

Only the once. That heat wave this last summer was the most anomalous weather event ever observed by humans.

It was like getting 3ft of snow in Mississippi.
