   The city of Reno, Nevada, is breaking records in ways it doesn’t like: A 2024 analysis of 241 cities showed that Reno has heated up faster than any other city in the United States.

   While the country as a whole warmed by 2.6 degrees Fahrenheit on average between 1970 and 2023, Reno saw an increase of 7.6 degrees. A heat wave that hit Reno in July 2024 made for the hottest month in the Biggest Little City’s documented history.
