Yesterday was the hottest day so far this summer locally. My Davis Vantage Pro 2+ Wireless Weather Station recorded a high of 110.5º. The thermometer is located in our back yard 5' 6" above the ground (on Bermuda grass - not a rooftop location). Note at midnight last night not only was it still 91º at our home but also at the Roswell and Artesia Airports. The Carlsbad Airport reported 90º at midnight.
The Carlsbad Climate Co-Op Station broke it's daily record high of 109º last set in 1998 on Thursday with a reading of 112º. This beats the record high temp for July of 111º set on July 28,1995, and July 12,1998.
The Roswell Airport ASOS high of 111º yesterday ties their all-time record high for the month of July. The previous record was 111º set on July 27,1995.
