Yep, it happened again.ย
Tucson hit another record high temperature Friday, the latest record-hot day delaying the onset of cooler autumn temperatures.
The temperature hit 100 degrees Friday afternoon, meaning that it also added to the record total number of 100-degree days in a year that we set this year. Now we're at 110 of them.ย
It was also the 16th record high temperature in Tucson out of the last 17 days.ย
The temperature is forecast to hit about 100 degrees Saturday, which also would be a record high, before temperatures start to gradually descend.ย
"From Monday onward, we gradually drop down to near normal," said National Weather Service meteorologist Alex Edwards. "Mid-90s by Tuesday. Maybe even upper 80s as a high on Friday."
