The misery meter went up in all three categories today with a high of 112! 112 beats the old record of 103 set in 2015 by 9-degrees. I had predicted 111 all week, and I was still 1-degree too cool!! We were just 2-degrees from the all-time high in El Paso, which is 114 on June 30, 1994. So far this year, we’ve had 52 days at 100 or hotter, 30 days at 105 or hotter, and 3 days at 110 or hotter. Unfortunately, the triple-digit heat continues all week. Your hot forecast is below…
