| 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 26 Hawthorne 102 101 (1996)Warmest maximum temperature records tied: Previous Date Location Temp Record (Year)July 17 Yerington 103 103 (1959)July 24 Hawthorne 101 101 (1996)July 25 Hawthorne 101 101 (2005)July 26 Yerington 103 103 (1975)July 27 Yerington 104 104 (1934) Hawthorne 102 102 (1994)July 28 Hawthorne 103 103 (1995)New warmest minimum temperature records set: Previous Date Location Temp Record (Year)July 25 Yerington 68 66 (1988)July 26 Hawthorne 71 69 (1996)July 28 Hawthorne 71 69 (1996)Warmest minimum temperature records tied: Previous Date Location Temp Record (Year)July 21 Yerington 68 68 (2005)July 26 Yerington 66 66 (1994) |
