    Last week's sweltering temperatures set the stage for a steamy summer, but they didn't set local records, per National Weather Service data.

    By the numbers: This month's seven straight days with maximum temperatures over 90 degrees — June 16-22 — didn't even crack the top 10 for Columbus' longest heat waves.


    • None of that week's high temperatures set a record for the particular date, either.

    Yes, but: This extreme heat is still out of the ordinary. A normal maximum temperature for June in Columbus is 81.5 degrees.

    What's next: We should hopefully be back to that soon, with high temperatures expected to be in the 80s again starting tomorrow.
