Phoenix topped out at 116F. It was 118F on this date in 1990
Las Vegas topped out 1t 113F. It was 115F on this date in 1995
Death Valley didn’t get anywhere close to a record
Santa Fe is 68F at 6PM. ROFLMAO

Someone must be blackmailing Drudge with secret video footage or something. Same person who has tapes on Rubio (they’re both from Miami).
Steve, where can I get high-low for around this week in 1991 and 1992?
I was outside what would later become the Stratosphere at the top of the strip around this time both those years and during one day ( can’t remember which year ) the big digital thermometer readout said 115° I think around mid-afternoon ( and locals told me it was more like 117° ). Later it was 100° at midnight which I’ll always remember.
Mentioned this almost exactly two years ago here …

… it goes to show the predictable strategy of the AGW scam artists who come out of hiding like locusts this time every year.
P.S. to Grumpy Grampy 😉 are you still here?
Hey Blade! GG goes by ‘miked1947’ now, pig with wings avatar.

I am still here!
I lived in Las Vegas from the mid 50s until 2006. It was always hot in the Summer and cold in the winter. We measured heat waves by the number of days over 105 anything less during Summer was a pleasant day. One inch or rain was a flash flood somewhere in the region, and that was also natural.
As far as the digital thermometers around the valley, they were not accurate as I saw them claim over 120. The weather station was at the old McCarren air field / Hughes Executive terminal near Las Vegas Blvd and Sunset road. That would only have been there since about 1948 because the airport was moved from the current site of Nellis Air Force Base, which is about 30 miles northeast. It is also in a different climate pattern for the valley. Historical temperature records for that region are not worth much due to the urbanization and rapid growth.
USHCN has a good interface

Pick a station from their map and download the daily data. It is all fairly self explanatory and fast.
Yeah, the Hype has gone off-the-chart – the wife was watching the news just before supper and I got a small taste of the Hot-Weather-Hype – totally ridiculous. How is it news that in late June it is hot in the desert? Man these people need to get out more.
Yes, it gets hot here in the Sonoran Desert (Phoenix). But I can tell you this – there is absolutely no way that somehow this summer is special and “hotter”. It isn’t hotter – just a typical Phoenix summer. So far pretty much ho-hum except for the Hype.
