It's now official, June was the warmest on record in Richmond. The average temperature was 81.1 degrees, which shattered the old record by almost 2 degrees (the previous record was 79.2 degrees, set in 1943). We reached 80 degrees every day of the month, and the only other time that was done was 2008. There were 11 days of 95+ (tied a record set in 1984), 19 days of 90+ (the record is 20 in 1943) and 3 days over 100 (tying a record set in 1952 and 2008).
June is starting on a much "cooler" note, but expect the intense heat to once again build over the upcoming holiday weekend. We could be dealing with triple digits yet again.
