Too Cool for 100
When it comes to sizzling temperatures, most of the U.S. has felt the heat—except for two states that have barely scraped by.
You might expect Alaska to be on that list, but the other? Hawaii!
Technically, every state has hit 100°F at least once, but Alaska and Hawaii only just made the cut—before they even became states!
Alaska’s one and only 100-degree day was way back on June 27, 1915, in Fort Yukon. As for Hawaii, the highest recorded temperature was 100°F in Pahala on April 27, 1931.
Meanwhile, most of the other states have soared past 110°F, with Illinois hitting 117°F and California’s Death Valley holding the world record at a scorching 134°F!
So, what’s the hottest temperature you’ve ever experienced? Or are you one of those people who actually likes the heat? Let’s hear it!
