The National Weather Service usually consider summer over at the end of August and the end of our triple-digit heat record. However, now they may just need to count the 100 degree days that spill into September. An expected three days of triple degree heat in September will increase Utah’s heat record for the summer above 28 days.
Since the beginning of the record keeping in the beehive state, there has only ever been three days of this type of heat in September, now in 2022, Utah will catch back up and tie that record.
