Keep your fans on? Albuquerque night temps break records

Published Modified

The temperature has not dipped below 75 degrees Fahrenheit these past three days in Albuquerque — hot enough to set records.

The overnight lows all broke daily records, said Robert Szot with the National Weather Service.

The low temperatures Sunday night into Monday morning and Monday night into Tuesday morning were 78 degrees. This was the highest low temperature recorded on those days, breaking previous records of 76 on July 10, 2003, and 74 on July 11, 1971, Szot said.

He added last night's overnight low of 75 broke the record of 74 set July 12, 1958.

Our media partners at KOAT7 reported that the average overnight temperature for this time of year is 67.
