Feeling hot? You are not alone!

Keep in mind, the Valley of the Sun broke this record on Aug 9th and the average last 110º+ day is not until August 26th, so still plenty of time to rack up more very hot days. In fact, looking at the current forecast, the tally this year could be at 40 days by the end of next weekend.
