Salt Lake County has mapped out cool zones for people to get out of the heat, and groups like the Rescue Mission of Salt Lake provide water, sunscreen and wide-brimmed hats.

St. George is on track for its driest winter ever, and southwest Utah’s snowpack stands at record lows.

From Salt Lake City to Brigham City to Cedar City, average temperatures were up both day and night over the summer. And according to forecasts, the above-average heat may not be over yet.

How much rain? Salt Lake City, Spanish Fork, Provo and Lehi all recorded more rain on Monday and Tuesday than in a typical entire month of August.

St. George and other southern Utah hot spots experienced relentless heat in July. Scientists say it’s another sign of how climate change — fueled by greenhouse gas emissions — is impacting Utah.

The monsoon has fizzled so far this year in Utah. Even so, it’s “been a tale of two summers” where northern Utah has been drier than the southern end of the state.

Fortunately, leftover moisture from last year is still helping southwest Utah get by as it waits for this winter’s snowpack to pile up.

Winter snow in the Rockies provides the majority of the Colorado River's water supply. As negotiators work on long-term rules for sharing the river, a dry winter could add some urgency.

It’s uniquely hard to predict Utah’s weather patterns because of where it’s located, but the hive is in the midst of a wet cycle.

St. George just broke its all-time record for the most precipitation during a water year, which is measured from October to October.

Utah reached its highest dew point levels on record in August. But climate change means humid summers might be the new norm in the dry state.

Relentless heat waves across Utah set new records for daytime highs and overnight lows, creating dangerous health risks and speeding the return of drought.
