Albuquerque, New Mexico – A dry heat surge is coming to central New Mexico, with temperatures in Albuquerque climbing to 96°F by Thursday afternoon under full sun. Roads like I-25 and I-40 will see heightened heat exposure, and residents should limit outdoor activity during peak sun hours.
According to the National Weather Service, a northwest wind will shift south by midday Thursday before calming after sunset. While no official heat advisory is in effect, UV levels will be high, and hydration remains critical, especially for those working outdoors or traveling across sun-exposed roadways.
Looking ahead, Friday and Saturday continue the heat trend. Friday’s high hits 97°F with mostly clear skies, and Saturday climbs to 99°F. Overnight relief is minimal, with lows staying in the mid-60s through the weekend.
Expect increasing sun and no rain chances through Sunday, with temperatures breaking 100°F by Monday. The weather remains dry and stable, making it crucial to monitor signs of heat exhaustion and avoid leaving children or pets in vehicles.
Prepare now for high-heat impacts, especially on exposed highways like Paseo del Norte and Central Ave. Local outdoor workers should start early and take frequent breaks.
