New Record High For December 13th

The 3pm surface plot above shows the warm temperatures in the 80s across the Sonoran Desert today. The high temperature at TUS (the airport) was 84F; breaking the old record (from 1995) of 79F by 5F. Quite something! Here at the house the morning low was 30F, meaning a diurnal range of more than 50F (highs here are usually very close to those at the airport). Again, quite something, especially for the low sun angle we have, only a week away from the winter solstice. Note that the mild airport low was only 42F.
