Lucky 13: Salt Lake's 100°-day count drops sharply in 2023

Catch up quick: After the record- (and soul-) crushing summer of 2022, we approached June 21 with trepidation.

• Temps reached 100° on 31 days from June 21 to Sept. 20 last year, with 34 100-plus days for the whole year.
• The previous record was 21 days, in 1994 and 1960.

The latest: This summer brought 13 days at or above 100°.

• Twelve of those came during the third-hottest July on record, with an average temperature of 85.3°.
