Britney Rivera Aldana, 8, plunges from the high dive into the Mansfield Park Pool, 2275 N. Fourth Ave. Tucson residents are urged to be careful outdoors this weekend, even while swimming, as temperatures are poised to shoot well past the 100-degree mark.
June 2, 2016
The first 100-degree day of 2016 has hit Tucson, but it won't be the last.
Tucson International Airport reported we hit triple digits at 1:10 p.m.
The last time the triple-digit mark was reached this late in the season was in 1998.
This year, the high follows a short string of blissful days in the 80s last week that almost made it seem like summer might be late this year, or at least forgiving.
The summer solstice, which is the official start of summer, is June 20.
Β So crank up the AC and slather on the sunblock, Sonoran summer is here.Β
