Remember how nice it was last weekend? Sadly, those days are over. The temperature has already risen by 20 degrees in the Coachella Valley – which will see the week wrap up with an excessive heat warning. Summertime in the desert is something, man. Â
High temperatures will be over 110 degrees today through Friday – with daily high temps going up a few degrees each day until hitting a gross 115 on Friday.

What does it all mean? Well, for one: DON’T HIKE!!!! Also just be smart about how you conduct yourself outside as this heat is freakin’ dangerous and be sure to keep yourself hydrated.
On the bright side, it could be worse:
Who Was Around When This Happened?
It was just one-year ago today when Palm Springs achieved an afternoon high temperature record of 122-degrees… and then (surprising most everyone) the city did it twice more just days later!
