I was looking at phoenix and the low is 90 degrees. That sounds miserable.

Article I read said the low was 92 in Phoenix, their highest-ever low temp.

Hmmm. I remember when we moved to Vegas that the bank temperature reading said 118 degrees as we drove into town.

According to the NWS, 117 was the previous record, set 5 times

A memory from 50 years ago is definitely suspect - esp mine! 🙂

It's also possible the bank temperature gauge was not calibrated properly

Or it was calibrated properly but was just not recording the temperature in the

I can’t believe Vegas has never hit 120 before, seems like they must have

I’m sure it has before just not at the airport

I think that's why it's a "daily" record - hottest on this date

Got it, that was a little sneaky by them

Rhubarb

117 was the ALL-TIME record in Vegas. Even PHX has only hit 120 three times

I swear I’ve heard of temperatures higher than 120 in Phoenix more than 3 times.

I assume it’s just the record for this date, but it is still surprising anyway.

I believe it’s an all time temperature for any date

The differential b/w 100 & 120 is the same as the diff. b/w 80 & 100, or 50 & 70

Palm Springs also set an all time record this weekend: 124

Possibly again on Wed and SLC 108 on Sat if AccuWeather is correct.

We swam at the pool and went for a walk. No big deal.

It’s crazy hot. Hate it. But a pool makes it bearable.

It's better than the South with 95 and 95% humidity. Really, it's tolerable.

No, 120 is way worse

Yeah, the dry heat excuse doesn't work with 120.

It works for us desert rats. And it's much cooler today any way.

Like 115?

Only 107.

Archaea

I don't think the word "only" ever belongs in a sentence with "107" (degrees).

Japan Coug

107 is child's play, if it's a dry heat.

I’m guessing you’re from Vegas or Phoenix. Or the Arabian Peninnsula.
