brettjrob Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 KPHX hit 119 F. I believe that's only 1 F shy of their all-time record, and it beat the daily record of 117 F from the 1994 event. Worse, their low was 91 F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salbers Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The Central Time Zone has lots of places that get near 120 degrees on occasion. It's unusual as mentioned to have the Houston area this warm being right on the Gulf Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardWx Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I see somebody mentioned SLC broke the monthly record with a 105 and tied that record the next day. Last night the low was 80F at SLC which broke the June record maxmin and also tied the all-time record maxmin! We also had some decent mostly dry lightning of which I am sure the clouds helped keep temps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salbers Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The link in the above post mentions the US & California June record is 129 at Volcano, CA. Also has a nice picture of the thermometer from yesterday. FWIW, the Stevenson screen can heat the air a couple of degrees, and the ground surface at the thermometer location at Furnace Creek looks to have a bit more asphalt than the time of their 1913 record. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/FXC/wxstory.php?wfo=vef&iname=weathergraphic3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 News coming out that 19 firefighters died in a fire in AZ? Awful story, and an even more awful way to go. Most had deployed the last ditch fire shelters, but to no avail. Effectively, they died from the heat, not smoke inhalation like most fire deaths. Terrible.

Jonger Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Make no mistake, 110 degrees in hot, but is it really that far from normal in Las Vegas? Average high today is 103 in Vegas, so a high temp of 110 is just 7 degrees above normal. That's like my town having a high of 90 today, hot, but not that crazy. I'm just laughing at the people interviewed on the major news outlets in Vegas, they act as if this is all that odd, its just 7 degrees above normal.

If the highest temperature ever recorded isn't odd, what is? I don't remember which article it was, but guy at the Death Valley visitor center said that he was used to 110s, but once you get into the 120s it becomes difficult to breathe. That is just a few degrees difference, from a guy who works in the hottest place in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslkahuna Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 First Rim event of the 2013 monsoon brought boomers with gusts up to 68 mph in the Tucson area. Temp dropped from 108 to 81 in two hours. Dewpoints have been increasing in southern AZ. Tucson had its first ever June with highs 0f 100F or higher all 30 days. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high temperature at the official long term Las Vegas climate station at McCarran International Airport has reached 117 degrees today, June 30th. This ties the all-time record high for Las Vegas first set on July 24, 1942 and tied on July 19, 2005. The previous all-time record high for June in Las Vegas was 116 degrees on June 15, 1940.

Geos Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I would imagine in places in the southwest the temperature variance in the summer covers a small range of temperatures. Similar to how places with a marine influence along the West Coast don't vary much in temperature during the summer. 7° above normal was enough to push LAS over the top. Low of 102° at the Furnace Creek visitor center this morning. Already 111° at 9am PST. Edit: +6° in one hour at LAS. 104° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
