Many times!
Not at all uncommon to see 120 degrees + during the summer - I think the highest there was (and I could be wrong) 129/130??

Officially 128 in LHC. As mentioned before anywhere along the Colorado River, Bullhead City to Yuma, is where you'll find the hottest areas. The next hottest are Las Vegas and Phoenix areas along with many CA desert areas.

Las Vegas's all time high was ca. 116F------Tucson has hit about 117F.
Weather stats
Please remember that our heat index oftentimes is lower than the 95F+80% humidity in places like Wash DC on south.

Las Vegas is no where near "next" hottest areas.
The Palm Springs area is hotter than either Las Vegas or Phoenix. Plus the humidity over there is always higher.

Why do you make these obnoxious claims? I think the highest heat index Ive seen in D.C. was 105, which is still lower than your average July high.  And its NEVER been 95 degrees with 80% humidity in D.C. What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
