LAST YEAR COULD END UP BEING THE WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD IN ALBUQUERQUE…GOING BACK TO 1891. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST BRIAN GUYER SAYS WE’LL LIKELY BREAK THE OLD RECORD WHICH WAS SET FIVE YEARS AGO. HE SAYS THAT AS OF LAST FRIDAY, THE TEMPERATURE WAS THREE DEGREES ABOVE THE YEAR AVERAGE AT 60.2 DEGREES. GUYER SAYS MARCH AND NOVEMBER BOTH SET MONTHLY RECORDS FOR WARM TEMPERATURES.
MEANWHILE, THE DRY STRETCH CONTINUES. ABQ HASN’T GOTTEN ANY PRECIPITATION FOR ABOUT 85 DAYS…AND GUYER SAYS THAT NUMBER WILL GO 90-PLUS BEFORE THERE’S ANY CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW.
