6/19/2016 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mid and upper 90's to low and some mid 100's; clear skies, low humidities away from the coast and HOT temps today caused a couple of firsts for this year: first day of triple digit temps this year and first day this year it became necessary to use the air conditioning; and today's max temps which were some 9 degrees higher than yesterday had El Cajon setting a record for the date for highest max temp at 104; one more day of record breaking heat is on tap for tomorrow-(co-incidently also being the first day of summer) before some slight cooling sets in for later in the week--key word here being slight
6/20/2016 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Around 100 to low, mid and some upper 100's; just one word for today: HOT!!-skies appeared to be mainly clear but there was so much smoke in the air from a fire southeast of here there may have been a few high clouds at times too; max temps today peaked before noon (highest temp observed at this station was 104) and shortly after noon a cooling trend started--dropped about 8-10 degrees in an hour but temps pretty much leveled out there til evening when more slow cooling began; El Cajon officially set two records today--highest max temp at 107 and highest minimum temp at 69; many other stations set records today also with desert stations experiencing 120 degree plus temps; some mid and high level clouds started arriving by late evening and are forecast to increase tomorrow along with an eddy circulation which should keep the temps down then; max temps today were 1-4 degrees hotter than yesterday (hotter as opposed to warmer--it's just plain HOT at temps at or above the century mark)
