Hottest June In Las Vegas With 18 Days At Or Above 105 Degrees

LAS VEGAS (AP) — June in Las Vegas is officially the hottest ever.

The National Weather Service said the average June temperature recorded at McCarran International Airport was 91.9 degrees, breaking the previous record of 91.5 in 2013.

More than half of last month was at or above 105 degrees. A meteorologist said June 13 through June 30 brought 18 consecutive days of temperatures in that range.

There's never been that many in a row or in total in a June month. In 1961, there was a streak of 12 days straight and in 1985, there were 17 total.

And halfway through this decade, there are now three June months in the top seven hottest ever recorded. The others were in June of 2012 and 2013.

Above normal temperatures are also expected for July
