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

But that short walk from your car to the store, church, etc. Yikes!

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

Jul 8, 12:55am

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

Jul 8, 12:26am

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

Jul 8, 12:27am

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

BluebloodOR

Jul 8, 12:28am

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

STL

Jul 8, 12:43am

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

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.

Archaea

No, 120 is way worse

palangi

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

The saving grace of dry heat is that shade and the sun going down mitigate the

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

Archaea

Jul 8, 1:52pm

Like 115?

Japan Coug

Jul 8, 3:15pm

Only 107.

Archaea

Jul 8, 3:37pm

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

Japan Coug

Jul 8, 3:44pm

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

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