Another Comparison to 1998, With a Surprising Wrinkle
This year's summer heat wave got a late start compared to 1998, but it has made the most of the time it's had. Since July 23rd, most of the state has actually seen warmer afternoon maximum temperatures on average than in 1998. A graphic is included at:

Overnight low temperatures have been warmer than during this period in 1998, even moreso than afternoon temperatures, especially in areal extent (a graphic will be available tomorrow). During last year's extended drought, dewpoints were depressed and overnight temperatures actually cooled more than overnight temperatures in the last few weeks of this year.
