Las Vegas hit record temperatures at 120°F in the month of April. regions along the East Coast are currently under extreme heat alerts, however in Philadelphia International Airport on Sunday the snow fell at an unprecedented rate.

The most remarkable aspect is that temperatures in the city rose to temperatures of 94 degrees during the daytime.

(very) tiny storm blew up when a storm struck the city, producing small hail. In terms of meteorology, that counts as an indication of snow–and it was sufficient to record records.

It’s not a typical scenario, but it’s definitely not a rare one. It was the last time it happened was in August 2011, when snow tracks were visible on two separate occasions (Aug. 1 and 18). Also it occurred in the years of 2008 2006, 2008 in 1998 and 2008. In addition to Sunday, a few flakes of snow were seen fourteen times during the course of summer at the Philadelphia airport.

Sunday’s snowfall was more than the record set in 1870.

Although a little bit of water may not be enough to build a snowman, or even get rid of the skis, they are still it is a welcome respite from the scorching temperatures the country experiences this season. The extreme heat of summer has caused deaths, with the death toll likely to exceed more than 2300 who died as a result of extreme heat during this summer in 2012, as according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The summer of 2024 was so hot that CDC developed a tool to educate the public on the risks caused by the upcoming heat waves. It’s a heat risk maps allow people to determine their risk of health and is especially beneficial for those who are older or suffer from respiratory issues such as asthma. It is also helpful for pregnant women as well as young children.

The scorching temperatures are blamed for the rise in temperatures due to climate change scientists have claimed that Earth is only four years from meeting 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) as the 1.5 Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) target that was set through the landmark Paris climate agreement of 2015.
