A patched segment of Redwood Road at North Temple that had buckled from heat in Salt Lake City, on Monday July 17, 2023. On Saturday, Salt Lake City's high temperature of 106 degrees set a July 22 record.
For the second time in under a week, Salt Lake City’s daily temperature record has been broken.
The hottest July 22 on record was 104 degrees — a benchmark set just last year.
On Saturday, the National Weather Service announced around 2:30 p.m. that the SLC International Airport measuring station had tied the previous record. Then around 3:20 p.m., it reached 106. That’s tied for the highest temperature so far this year.
