Summer keeps rolling along, my friends, and in good fashion. Our average mean temperature is running only 1.7 degrees above normal. Our warmest July high temperature so far, as of early Saturday afternoon, was 88 degrees. And we are almost through July, the hottest month of the year. Quite unusual. June was quite unusual in the opposite way.

But hold on, folks. Yep, warmer weather is on the way. We may have touched 90 degrees here or there around the county Saturday before I wrote this column, but please read on about the hot stuff.

This week promises more summer-like weather, with highs between 85 and 90 each day. Next weekend will be interesting. We have discussed the hot high pressure over the Four Corners region for some time now. Well, some forecast models hint that it will move westward toward us.

If so, we could see highs reaching 100 degrees again next weekend, but not like back in June, for sure. This is our usual way of getting hot weather and temperatures of 100 degrees plus. It shouldn’t last long, but keep an eye on the daily forecasts.

That excessive June heat wave was high pressure forming over southern British Columbia and building a hot dome well north of the usual Southwest desert heat. We shouldn’t see that again in our lifetimes.
