118° July 14, 1954. I know one thing for sure, at 9 years old, my friends and I were out playing base ball that day. We lived to play base ball and a little heat never stopped us.

Even Alaska broke into triple digits! Must have been global warming going on back in 1915.

We must be gluttons for punishment to live along the Lower Colorado River.

But I can't imagine living anywhere else. Once the Low Desert gets under your skin, it won't let go.

Sorta like a jumping cholla. :^)

My wife and I were visiting the in-laws in Havasu that week. It hit a 125 as we walked across the London Bridge.

We could almost hear the river evaporating with a sucking sound it was so hot, we staggered into an air conditioned bar nearby.

I live near Death Valley and have been there a number of times when it was 125 (a Highway Patrol car’s tires exploded in the heat in Death Valley a few years ago) but the humidity at Havasu made the heat much worse.

Yeah, but it’s a dry heat so it isn’t too bad!

We used to do the river thing at Black Meadows Landing (nearby Parker)....at the end of the weekend after the car had been baking for a couple of days, you’d need a cloth to touch the handle....and then reach in, fire up, flip the A/C to max, then just wait ourside five minutes before even thinking of climbing inside.

If the list is accurate, just three states have this year exceeded their previous hottest temperature for the year.

Here in La Quinta a few years ago, we showed 128 with Ginger-Baby’s “official” being 126....even the damn oleanders got sun scald.

I remember doing that...on fishing trips to the Salton Sea.

One of the many nicknames for Havasu is Death Valley with a lake. Very fitting, I think.

Lol!

In the Arizona and California deserts we get a month of "Monsoonal flow" every year from about mid-July through Mid to late August.....the temp doesn't drop, and even 25 percent humidity makes it almost unbearable.

It can last longer....We buried my dad on September 5 2007, and the graveside portion was brutal; 113 degrees and 63% (I diaryize those kinda thangs....); not a good day to be wearing suit and tie.

We used to do the river thing at Black Meadows Landing

Back in the early 60s (before the city came into existence), my parents used to take my sister and me (just little kids then) to Black Meadow landing too. I remember never getting out of the water in the daytime and sleeping on a cot looking up at the stars at night. What memories!

As an adult, I moved to Havasu in '92. The very first thing I remember is getting out of the car and smelling a pungent but pleasing odor everywhere. It was the same smell I experienced as a kid -- and I vividly remembered it!

I've since learned that smell comes from a plant that grows along the shore of Havasu -- and everywhere along the Lower Colorado -- called arrowweed.

It's a funny thing how smells can make such impressionable memories.

Whenever anyone says that, my answer is “Right...just like when you roast a chicken”. That usually shuts them up.

I know it can get pretty warm here in Michigan.

Michigan is west of the Appalachian chain so I guess it's in the 'open plain' area.

NM 122 27-Jun-94

I remember this day for sure, we were digging a pipeline by hand and I thought we were all going to die. We had to get some water to the top of the mountain or to water cattle because all the natural water had dried up. Literally, within an hour of getting the pipeline finished a few days later, it rained and we didn’t need it anymore and have not needed it since.

Look at the daily record highs and lows for a given location. Where I live, the record highs on most days of the year were achieved much more recently than the record lows.

I believe the climate is warming.
