El Paso Melts Under Record-Breaking Heat — April Has Never Been This Hot!

El Paso residents were left sweltering this weekend as a brutal heatwave shattered records across the region. On Sunday, temperatures soared to a staggering 96°F (35.5°C), officially making it the hottest April day in the city’s history — smashing the previous 2018 record of 90°F. Locals took to social media to express shock and frustration, with many reporting heat-related fatigue, power outages, and malfunctioning air conditioning units. Health officials have issued warnings, urging residents to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activity, and check in on vulnerable neighbors and pets. Experts are blaming a high-pressure system parked over West Texas for the extreme conditions. Some climatologists warn that these early-season temperature spikes could be a sign of worse to come this summer.
