Did June feel unusually hot and humid to you?
For around 240 million people across the United States, the month was at least a degree warmer than average. Only around 9 million people nationwide experienced a cooler than average June.
In 41 contiguous states as well as D.C., monthly temperatures were at least a degree above-average. But it wasn't the days that were most unusually warm — it was the nights. A total of 44 states and D.C. experienced above-average low temperatures, which meant less relief from the heat after sundown.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District has issued a smoke advisory in Riverside County as the Wolf and Mindy fires continue to burn. Although crews continue to make progress on the Wolf Fire in the Banning Pass and the Mindy Fire in the Anza area, winds have transported smoke to different areas of Southern California. The smoke advisory will be in effect until 6 p.m. Officials said smoke from the Wolf Fire is expected to impact areas north to northeast of the fire, including the Banning Pass and San Jacinto Mountains.

California's Wolf Fire mapped after residents told to flee 1,100-acre blaze
At least four large wildfires erupted in California over the weekend following extreme high temperatures, forcing hundreds of residents to flee their homes. The largest currently ablaze in the Sunshine State has been dubbed the Wolf Fire, which erupted at around 3:09 p.m. Sunday near Banning and has spread across 1,165 acres. No casualties have been reported and the cause of the fire is being investigated. Cal Fire officials said 300 firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze as it continues to rage into the early hours of Monday morning, 'at a moderate rate in medium to heavy brush.' Their biggest challenge with the Wolf Fire is the location because the flames are burning on the tip of the mountain, and ground crews are having difficulty accessing it, Cal Fire told NBC News Sunday. Nearly a dozen evacuation orders have been issued for areas surrounding the blaze, and locals have been advised to take shelter 20 miles south in Hemet High School. Four helicopters have been throughout the night to try and contain the fire. Sixty miles north in San Bernardino County, the second largest fire, the Lake Fire, continues to burn, growing to 485 acres since it erupted around 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Silverwood State Recreation Area. There, the fires prompted a group of about 100 visitors to flee in their beachwear, as bystanders with boats and jet skis helped evacuate them to a safe area. It is at 15 percent containment. On the outskirts of the Sequoia National Park, the Saddle Fire burns across 206 acres in Tulare County, but officials have managed to contain it at 85 percent. The flames erupted at around 10 p.m. Sunday, and local crews continue to battle the blaze throughout the night, said Cal Fire. 'Steep terrain and access made this fire difficult for personnel to raise containment,' a spokesperson added. Two more fires continue to rage in Riverside County, California. The Mindy and Mandalay Fires both erupted Sunday at around 10 p.m. While fire officials have managed to tackle 50 percent of the Mindy Fire, which spread across 100 acres, crews have been struggling to grapple with the smaller Mandalay Fire, across 83 acres. On Sunday night, Cal Fire downgraded evacuation orders for the Mindy Fire to warnings, advising residents to 'use caution when driving in the area.'

Small earthquake shakes Redding Friday morning; epicenter reported west of downtown
A minor earthquake briefly shook the Redding area early Friday morning, awakening some Shasta County residents at least as far as Anderson and Palo Cedro. The temblor, which made an audible rumble, happened at 3:57 a.m. according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It lasted several seconds, starting with a mild shake, then growing in strength and stopping. The earthquake was centered west of downtown Redding, north of Eureka Way. A 6 a.m. update from the geological survey placed the epicenter more than 12.5 miles (20.4 kilometers) underground, at a spot beneath and between Buenaventura Boulevard to the west and Quartz Hill Road to the east, according to the USGS' earthquake map. Note to readers: If you appreciate the work we do here at the Redding Record Searchlight, please consider subscribing yourself or giving the gift of a subscription to someone you know. While there were no initial reports of damage, the rumbling sound the temblor made was loud enough to startle some people, who posted online the temblor sounded like an explosion. The earthquake measured 3.6 on the Richter Scale, downgraded from a 3.7 in the geological survey's initial report. It was what seismologists consider a light to moderate earthquake. That magnitude is strong enough for people to feel it, but not usually enough to cause any damage. Residents reported feeling the ground shake to the south in Anderson, and east of Redding in Palo Cedro. "It was definitely a jolt rather than a roller," George Parker of Anderson told the Record Searchlight on Facebook, but "nothing moved on shelves or fell over." More than 900 people reported feeling the earthquake and their location as of 8:15 a.m. Friday, said Paul Caruso, a geophysicist with the USGS Earthquake Center. Here's a list of earthquake magnitudes and their effects, according to Michigan Technological University: Below 2.5: Generally not felt 2.5 to 5.4: Minor or no damage 5.5 to 6.0: Slight damage to buildings 6.1 to 6.9: Serious damage 7.0 to 7.9: Major earthquake. Serious damage. 8.0 or greater: Massive damage, can destroy communities (This story was updated with new information.)
