If I compare a summer to 1995 it's saying something. 1995 was hell on earth.

Well, July was the second-hottest month on record (behind July 2003), and also featured the record highest average minimum temperatures. The high low temperature was 79 degrees, which was 1 below the record of 80. We also saw 9 100-degree days (average is 4), including two days of 104 degree temperatures. We saw a streak of 19 straight days of temperatures of at least 95 degrees, which tied for the third-longest on record. Two days before that streak began it was also 95+ degrees, so if that one intermediate day would have been warmer, it would've been 21 days in a row (which would've been a record). June was also probably 6th or 7th temperature-wise (NWS Salt Lake City only reports it if it was in top 5, but it was less than half-a-degree off 5th place). Finally, overall it was the fourth-hottest summer on record behind 1994, 2003, and 1988.

Quite an impressive summer here.
