Hot Stuff

Here's four hot stuff factoids for your Pioneer Day enjoyment:

  • Yesterday's high at the Salt Lake City International Airport was 103ºF, which is tied with July 14th for the hottest day of the year so far.
  • Climatologically, this is the hottest period of the year.  From 18 July to 2 August, the average high temperature at the Salt Lake City International Airport is 94ºF and the average low is 66ºF. 
  • The overnight (through 6 AM) minimum temperature at the Salt Lake City International Airport was only 80ºF, although temperatures did dip to 79ºF just after 7 AM.  I woke up in the middle of the night and heard the air conditioning cranking and thought, whoa, it must be hot!
  • Globally, June was the hottest recorded in the instrumented record.
