Albuquerque’s Early Heatwave Alert

Albuquerque’s first 100-degree day of the year is arriving earlier than usual, setting off a heat alert as the city braces for a dangerous heatwave. With triple-digit temps already hitting five days this year — up from just two last year and seventeen in 2023 — officials are sounding the alarm. The earliest 100-degree day ever recorded here was June 5, 2011, making today’s heat the 13th earliest on record. Mayor’s office is urging residents to stay safe: hydrate, wear light clothing, avoid outdoor activity during peak heat, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Cooling centers, libraries, pools, and shelters are open — plus Health and Social Services Centers offer food, utilities, and healthcare help. Heat advisory remains in effect through Wednesday evening. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
