Brace Yourself: El Paso Facing Record-Breaking Heat This Weekend!

Texans, get ready — El Paso is about to sizzle. Forecasters are warning residents to prepare for a blistering weekend as temperatures are expected to soar well above seasonal norms. According to the National Weather Service, highs on both Saturday and Sunday could exceed 90°F (32°C), with some areas pushing into the mid-90s. That’s 10 to 15 degrees higher than average for this time of year — and we’re not even into summer yet. But it’s not just the heat. Meteorologists are also predicting strong winds throughout the weekend, creating the perfect storm for increased fire danger and dust storms across the region. “Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during peak hours, and be cautious if you’re driving in open areas,” advised local officials. Emergency cooling centers are being prepared just in case. El Paso’s streets are already starting to shimmer in the heat, and local stores are reporting a surge in purchases of water, fans, and air conditioning units. With record temps and blowing dust on the horizon, this weekend might be the first real test of El Paso’s endurance this year.
