14. It's very hot in Pittsburgh this week, for sure
Fri Jul 3, 2026, 11:47 AM
Friday

Today it's supposed to get up to 97 degrees, and we're told tomorrow will be up to 92. Yikes!

This is unusual for southwest Pennsylvania, where it rarely gets much above the high 80s. I can remember a few years like this where we broke a record, but it isn't normal. How do we know what's "normal" anymore, that's the question.

I've travelled and vacationed in other states, including Florida, Texas and southern California. They seem to be better equipped to handle these high temperatures on a regular basis. For us it's a pretty big deal, we're not used to it. You won't hear me complain about the weather in Pittsburgh very often, mostly I'm happy to be living here.
