It's beginning to look a lot like summer. In just a few days, the days will start to become shorter and the nights longer. I noticed this little weather tidbit.
The low temperature at McCarran International Airport yesterday June 17th dropped to 87 degrees at 557 am PDT. This reading broke the previous record high minimum... which could also be called the warmest low temperature... for the date which was 80 degrees set in 1999 and 2000. This also tied for the second warmest low temperature ever recorded in June which was also recorded on June 16th 2000 June 28th 1994 and June 29th 1977. The all time record high minimum for the month of June in Las Vegas is 89 degrees and was set on June 30th 1994.
I have a bunch of work colleagues out there right now and all have been complaining about the heat. I offered to switch places with them at any time. Our weather in Chicago has been glorious but when it comes to Vegas, I'm there regardless of the heat.....
