## Resource

Salt Lake City shattered its all-time heat record with a scorching 109°F — the hottest since records began over 150 years ago — as a stubborn high-pressure system turns the region into a furnace hotter than Vegas. This isn’t an isolated event: Utah’s warmest year on record was 2025, and record-breaking heat has been popping up repeatedly since 2021. With dry conditions worsening, people are flocking to splash pads for relief — but the bigger picture is climate change driving more extreme weather. A potential shift may be on the horizon: monsoonal storms could bring desperately needed rain later this week, easing drought — but also risking flash floods and new wildfires. Relief may be coming, but it comes with its own dangers. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
