How Hot Can It Get?

The temperature today in Denver will peak at 101 degrees. Tomorrow will be a bit worse at 102 degrees. June was 2 degrees above the average for the United States. The last 12 months have been the hottest since the United States began record-keeping in 1895. The heat so far this summer has already brought 56% of the US into drought conditions. Forecasts for the rest of the summer do not look good. Heat along with severe drought conditions are expected to continue until winter. Since I hate the heat, I'm in fear of what is to come later this year. Seriously, how hot can it get?
