Extreme heat in 2021 breaks the famous Dust Bowl record from 1936 for hottest summer on record in the USA.

It looks like the regents just got run over by a speeding bus called the governor's office. Academic freedom? Pshaw. Who needs that in colleges and universities?

The Lower 48 temperature extremes on July 30, 2021 were in the Northwest U.S. -- an uncommon day. 36F in ID & MT, with 111F in Richland WA. Neither Peter Sinks nor Death Valley could be reached for comment. ;)
