Rivers are running cold and fast, and will continue to do so this weekend. Nearly every year, people die in rivers in southwest Washington and northwest Oregon due to cold water shock during the season`s first heat wave. Hot temperatures can make the cool water seem tempting, but river temperatures in the 50s can easily result in cold water shock that can kill in minutes.

I would be on that site if not for the email problem. Anyone else have an issue with signing up on americanwx.com?
Hello fellow Utahn! Yeah, I've heard the same questions about the location of the temperature recordings being moved at SLC, not sure as to how much it's impacted the numbers either, but I can say having lived my whole life here (49 y/o) the summers are noticeably hotter, even than 10-20 years ago, the last several have been particularly bad... I'll be curious what you find.So it's been a hot summer here in the Salt Lake area per their standards, though it's been the "coolest" feeling summer I've ever lived through when you compare it to an Alabama summer.
Unfortunately, it appears the temperature record at the SLC airport might be tainted by the construction at the airport. I'm not exactly sure when they moved the thermometer, but it's surrounded by gravel and asphalt now, and is basically always the warmest temperature around. There's been a ton of headlines about "most 100 degree days in SLC history" because of the airport record, I'm just not sure it's an apples to apples comparison. I actually live up near Ogden, and we have a long term temperature record at the airport here as well. I'm doing some digging to see if my suspicions are correct.
