ALBUQUERQUE IS ABOUT TO GET HIT WITH THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURES OF THE YEAR SO FAR, WITH HIGHS EXPECTED IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST BRENT WACHTER SAYS WE COULD EVEN REACH 100 THIS WEEKEND…SOMETHING THAT USUALLY HAPPENS ABOUT TWICE A YEAR.
HE SAYS THE LAST TIME ALBUQUERQUE HIT 100 DEGREES WAS LAST YEAR. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON JUNE 30TH, 2014. THE SECOND TIME WAS JULY 26TH OF LAST YEAR.
A NORMAL HIGH THIS TIME OF YEAR WOULD BE AROUND 90. WACHTER SAYS ABQ USUALLY SEES ITS HOTTEST TEMPERATURES OF THE YEAR RIGHT BEFORE THE MONSOONS SET IN IN EARLY JULY.
