Hottest Temperatures
Louisville
It has been a very long time since the last time we saw the hottest temperature ever recorded in Louisville. The hottest Louisville has ever seen was 107°F! It wasn’t just one time that this happened though, this has actually happened three separate times! Now, none of them are recent, but it has in fact happened three times. The most recent was back in 1936 on July 14th! The previous two instances were July 28th, 1930, and July 24th, 1901.
