You might be surprised to see which cities frequently hit 100 degrees in the summer, and which cities have hardly ever hit the century mark at all:
Other surprising cities also typically reach 100 degrees.Sign up for the Morning Brief email newsletterThe 100 degree club is elusive for many cities, but others can count on being a member every year.
Las Vegas, Phoenix and Tucson are all premium members of the triple digit club, as the average number of 100 degree days for all three cities is well above 50 per year. The highest temperature on record in Las Vegas is 117, which has been reached several times, most recently in 2021.Death Valley comes to the minds of many when thinking of very hot conditions because it holds the world record for the hottest temperature at 134 degrees, set July 10, 1913.
Locations farther south in the U.S. benefit from a higher sun angle, which results in an increase in solar radiation. Lower elevations also tend to experience higher temperatures, as temperatures decrease when moving higher into the atmosphere. Air tends to be drier in much of the West in the summer, and dry air is able to warm up more readily than moist air.
Dallas is one of those cities. The average date for the first of many 100 degree days is July 3. The year with the most 100 degree temperatures in Dallas was 2011 when highs topped the century mark 71 times. That year, exceptional drought was widespread across the region.
