ST. GEORGE — St. George has unofficially tied the record set back in 1985 for the hottest day ever recorded in the state.
The official recording station at the St. George Regional Airport measured 117 degrees Saturday. Meteorologists are looking at the data and confirming it Sunday morning to verify the record was actually tied.
The National Weather Service is also checking to see that the recording station is close enough in proximity to where the record was set over 35 years ago.

A native of Pacific Palisades, Calif., Ric was bitten by the news bug as a staff writer and associate editor of the Palisades High School Tideline. After school he entered the media as a radio personality, both playing music and reporting news. Ric moved to St. George in the 1980s and was the morning personality on all three major AM stations in town. An avid amateur radio operator, Ric is looking for a good band to play in, as he plays keyboards, bass and guitar.
Ric has authored two Kindle books on Amazon, both fiction. He writes under the name Richard Wayman and would be honored if you would read them and leave a review.
Ric, who currently is working on developing a lifestyle that doesn't require his presence, lives in the center of St. George with his partner Terri, a big snoring dog and way too many neurotic cats.
