| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A record-breaking heat wave affected the eastern Sierra and western Nevada during the last two weeks of July. The main area affected was western Nevada where over 50 high temperature records, and warm minimum temperature records, were either tied or broken at various locations throughout the latter half of the month. As in past heat waves, temperatures during the afternoon at valley locations across western Nevada rose to above 100 degrees. However, it was the warm nighttime temperatures that made this heat wave nearly unprecedented. These warm nighttime readings in Reno might have been exacerbated by the urban heat island effect that the city has been experiencing during at least the last decade. But smaller towns across the region also experienced very warm nighttime temperatures. Some of the records that were broken or tied:New warmest maximum temperature records set: Previous Date Location Temp Record (Year)July 18 Reno 104 103 (1988)July 26 Virginia City 94 92 (1996)Warmest maximum temperature records tied: Previous Date Location Temp Record (Year)July 17 Virginia City 96 96 (2005)July 22 Virginia City 95 95 (2003)July 24 Reno 101 101 (1980)New warmest minimum temperature records set: Previous Date Location Temp Record (Year)July 18 Minden 63 60 (1929)July 19 Reno 74 72 (2003) Carson City 65 63 (2003) Minden 63 59 (2003)July 20 Minden 63 60 (2003)July 21 Minden 64 63 (1936)July 23 Reno 77 72 (2003) Minden 68 63 (1931)July 24 Reno 73 72 (2003) Carson City 69 64 (2003) Minden 65 63 (1931)July 25 Virginia City 73 69 (1975) Reno 72 67 (2003) Minden 62 60 (1933)July 26 Reno 66 64 (2003)Warmest minimum temperature records tied: Previous Date Location Temp Record (Year)July 17 Virginia City 71 71 (1984)July 18 Virginia City 70 70 (2005)July 23 Carson City 69 69 (1959)July 26 Virginia City 70 70 (1975) |
