Quote:SALT LAKE CITY — The searing summer heat in northern Utah that has wilted plants, made lawns go yellow and led people to blast their air conditioning set a record for the warmest June-July on record, the National Weather Service said Monday.
The average temperature of 80.3 in June and July in Salt Lake City eclipses the record of 79.8 set in 2013, said meteorologist Eric Schoening. Records date back to 1874.
