The heat was on and the record may have been burned up, so to speak.
Unofficially the high temperature at the Sheridan Airport recorded a temperature of 108 degrees Fahrenheit for Tuesday, June 15th.
The temperature was recorded 7 times in 5 minute intervals, between 2:45 and 3:20pm.
We’re waiting for official confirmation from the National Weather Service in Billings, Montana, but if those readings stand, it would be a new all-time record high temperature ever recorded for Sheridan.
The old record is 107 degrees recorded on July 14th, 2002 and again on July 13th, 2005.
Within 20 minutes after the last 108 degree temperature was reported, the temperature dropped 9 degrees, indicating that an expected cold front was pushing through the area.

This is an isolated incident…We locals are competent enough to take the temperature but people who live elsewhere are not…The data showing record heat all over the world is nothing to worry about…Human activity has no impact on the planet…A fire could never happen here…We will always have enough water…We can afford to keep our head in the sand…

…back in the early 1980’s when Al Gore first brought up the subject of global warming/climate change the republicans and the GOP all laughed…just another example of the misguided republican party…now that many of the lakes, streams and rivers are drying up, monsoon rain storms are occurring and many other places are experiencing “mega hell fires” people aren’t laughing anymore and that clown by the name of trump that so many Wyoming voters are so crazy about pulled out of the Paris accord which was meant to combat climate related problems…
