"When is the Hottest Day of the Year?"
When the temperature for any one day exceeds the temperature of all of the other days of the year!
The heat wave has been pretty steady here in Wyoming, since the middle of June. We started off cool and wet then a huge change to steady heat. We have hit 115* , with the weather channel saying we were, really 102* Generally, when the weather channel says what it will be, we are always 10* hotter or cooler! This week we are now edging up into the low 100's. So we will see! Extreme drought in our area and a real challenge to have a garden. Stay cool everyone!
The NOAA map is pretty accurate for our area this year. We concluded our third heatwave (3+ days of 90 degree temps in a row) on July 17th. The third heatwave was 6 days long. 90 degree temps are expected next week as well. We are VERY thankful we don't hit the 100+ temps in our area very often. Unfortunately, rainfall is delegated to severe thunderstorm watches, with hit or miss precipitation. We continue to water the gardens. Hey . . . it's summer in S.E. Pennsylvania!
Here have been many 100+F days since June this summer. Now, a long string of days in the low 90’s. We’re in the Sierra foothills at 1600’ elevation. It’s hot!
Have lived in Florida for 42 years. This year has been typical for heat, but not for rain. Only 2 inches in July and although almost 7 inches was officially reported for June - not at my house!! My gardens are really drooping. I can't wait for cooler weather.
