Summer heat

The midafternoon sun beats down on a Tucson worker as he adjusts signals at a road-widening project at North La Cañada Drive and West Orange Grove Road.

Tucson's below-average high temperatures continue to increase and will soon give way to triple-digit heat expected this weekend.

Thankfully, we will be nowhere near the record high of 110 degrees for June 5 set back in 2016.

High: 97

Low: 68
