Yuma AZ #1 Hottest City in America

All of this talk about Dallas and its impressive streak (that recently ended) of 100-degree days has led us to forget about the consistent winners year in and year out.

For example, Yuma AZ has quietly amassed 68 consecutive days at or above 100 degrees (according to my count...which has been known to be wrong on occasion).

I found this interesting article from a July 10 edition of the Yuma Sun newspaper.
Click HERE for the article...Highlights include Yuma being ranked the #1 hottest city in America where population is greater than 50,000.

While researching the data, I uncovered a Louisville, KY native, Joey Norton, who is a meteorologist at KSWT-13, a CBS news station.
For more about Mr Norton, click here


And...not trying to compare apples to apples here, I thought this was a nice touch. Meet Radar the weather dog. He helps the crew at the KSWT weather office.


Read more about him from the same site as Mr Norton's.
