- 24/7 Wall Street just came out with their list of the 50 Hottest Cities In America.
- Cities on this list reach temperatures of 90 degrees or more for an average of 67 days or more each year, and in some it’s more than double that.
- Texas has the most cities on the list, with 16, followed by Florida with eight.
- Topping the list is Phoenix, Arizona, which has, on average, 169 days of 90+ temperatures each year.
