Here in the Valley, the milestone temperature is 110 degrees. It inevitably hits every summer, but residents really pay attention when it happens on consecutive days. MORE ⬇️
The most consecutive days hitting 110 degrees occurred in June of 1974 with eighteen days. Another long heat wave, 17 days, happened 21 years later. The ongoing heat wave ranks fourth between 2007 and 2020 with 11 days over 110 degrees. With more days in the forecast over that mark, there is plenty of time for it to move up in the rankings.
Not only is hitting 110 degrees or higher a more common occurrence, but daily lows between June 1 and July 9 since temperature recording began in 1896 are trending up. The minimum and maximum annual lows were consistent in the Valley from 1896 to 1960 between 59 degrees and 83 degrees with an average of 71.5 degrees. Today the minimum and maximum lows are between 70 degrees and 90 degrees with an average of 78 degrees.
