Close to record temperatures.
Friday-Saturday PM temperature in Albuquerque will be 38 C. according to one website; 34-35 degrees on another.
Either is dam hot. We used to consider Albuquerque very hot when the temperature approached 90 F (32C); in Santa Fe, were upset when the temperature hit the 80s- now I see Temperatures up to 32-34 C.

My younger son is hiking the Continental Divide; he found a couple of the "dependable" wells dry in New Mexico. He was glad to hit the high country in northern New Mexico and Colorado, but even in Colorado, passes below 10,000 feet were 95 F.

I lived in San Antonio for a while; the temperature is predicted to hit 38 C (about 100 F) today, according to forecasts.
