While the summertime is quite hot across the interior of the western United States in the valleys, basins and deserts, the heat will soon go above and beyond what is typical. AccuWeather meteorologists continue to warn of dangerous heat that will build through at least the first weekend of July over the interior Southwest and into mid-July over the interior West.
"Extreme temperatures will crescendo into the weekend as a northward bulge in the jet stream strengthens over the region," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Heather Zehr said. "At its peak, afternoon high temperatures will be around 20 degrees above average in the worst-hit areas."
This level of heat will not only challenge daily high-temperature records but will also make a run at some all-time record highs for the month of July and for any time of the year.

Yep, hot and dry here in Amador County and it does make this old-timer a little uneasy. But, on the upside, this kind of heat this early in the summer can often mean a milder than usual August (well, I can hope!).
Up near Almanore for a gig this evening. 104 currently. Toasty. Dry? About 5% humidity.
That post deserves a big thumbs up!
Life here is memories of great things!
Climate change is here have no doubt
Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout
It’ll cook your brain and freeze your feet
Too much rain too much heat
Snow coming soon no relief in sight
Tornados and floods you better run for your life
Climate change is here better hide in fear.
They need more money or it gets severe
Hurricanes on the way they’re comin soon
You’re all going to die in the next typhoon
Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout
KOMO (Seattle) Weather Page claims high temp was 89 F today.
KOMO claims record high for July 5 was 91 F - in 1958.
91 F record high sounds like total BS to me.
We have at least one 90 F day in May or June almost every year!
Anyway - with 27% humidity, the air temp is entirely comfortable.
Forecast - 80s and low 90s for the next week.
If the humidity bounces up, it will be uncomfortable.
By the way - in 2024, we have had record COOL weather in Seattle in March, April, May, and June.
My heater clicked on June 27 in the morning - first time that has ever happened - High temp on June 27 was 66 F.
Yes. Utter BS.
Beat you by 2 degrees!
108 degrees!! at 4pm in Canoga Park, Calif on 7-5-2024.
Thanks to the people who invented air conditioning!!
Curse those in our California gov’t who raised electric prices to near .30 cents a kw!! to pay the pensions of gov’t employees.
I remember that it was that hot up in Washington state.
media saying this is the hottest on record is the BS.
its summer and its hot.
I know. It’s psychotic.
In California it’s not all that hot a summer.
But they make people think it’s unprecedented heat. And people seem to believe it, as if they can’t remember anything before.
