Last month was Salt Lake City's warmest May on record, according to National Weather Service data, reversing a cold trend during the first third of the year.
The average temperature at the weather service's Salt Lake City International Airport station ended up at 67.2 degrees, breaking the previous record of 66.7 degrees set in 1934, according to the agency's climate records. The final average was also 5.7 degrees above the 30-year normal of 61.5 degrees.
The cold start had much to do with a consistent pattern that sent storm after storm toward Utah, which is also how the state ended up with a record snowpack. It didn't allow for many high-pressure systems to develop over the state to warm things up. He explains that May is typically a "roller coaster" month in Utah. It's known to be consistently inconsistent, bringing a mixture of high-pressure systems that can boost temperatures into the 90s across the Wasatch Front only to be cooled down by a storm system that could even bring snow to the valleys.
"What we've seen is consistent weather nearly on a daily basis with minimal fluctuation holding in the 70s and the low-80s for weeks now," he told KSL.com Thursday morning, noting that the consistency was abnormal.
