THE YEAR ISN’T QUITE OVER, BUT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST BRIAN GUYER SAYS IT LOOKS LIKE 2017 WILL GO DOWN AS THE WARMEST YEAR EVER IN ALBUQUERQUE, GOING BACK TO 1891. RIGHT NOW, ALBUQUERQUE’S AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE YEAR SITS AT 60.2 DEGREES…THREE DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THAT COULD BREAK THE ALL TIME RECORD FOR WARMTH WHICH WAS SET IN 2012.
AND ALBUQUERQUE HAS ALSO GONE 85 DAYS WITHOUT PRECIPITATION…THE EIGHTH LONGEST DRY SPELL IN THE CITY’S HISTORY.
