Since I been recording daily temps in Furnace Creek back more than 10 years ago I never record a max of below 40C in July but yesterday was truly amazing cool at 35C max and 21C at night which is more like a tad below Nicosia July average.   There was a lot of storms around this region and deposited 5.6mm.   It been a cooler summer for them as well and didn't exceed more than 50C only reached twice in June and that it.  Latest July average now 43.1C which is 4C short of normal 47C average so it been a funny summer for some places like France are hotter than Death Valley in term of staying above average non-stop while here just at or tad above and well below average in the north, Scandi and the Baltic sea temps failed to reach the annual 20-22C peak temps.

Interesting post Jiries.

I'm not really up on the El Nino situation but is this a sympton of its emergence ?

Might be, the latest temperatures are struggling to reach to the normal 47C July average as it went up to 42C 2 days ago and drop back to 41C.  Here the latest figures and it seem interesting to see how cool this month is.  It more akin to end of September temperatures.

I looked at this thread expecting to see it had been snowing in Death Valley ......

Where else could temps in the low 40s centigrade be called "unusually very cool"

It would feel this way after many summers had been recording 45-53C rarely below 45C from late June to early September.

I have Death Valley on my phone weather and noticed the 35C last week and thought it was unusual but didn't realise how unusual it was. Obviously this mean Las Vegas was 'cool' that day too.

Not sure what the temps results for Las Vegas, but I find this recent cool weather was far more interesting then yesterday most boring wet and cold weather which far too lame to my books compare to real thunderstorms, flash flood and proper heavy rain and massive drop in temperatures.
