Tuesday was, well, it was gross.
A couple of heat records were set in the valley as a heatwave scorched the desert. Palm Springs saw a high of 122 degrees, a record for this date and just one degree shy of the all-time high.
It's official! #PalmSprings has tied their rec high of 122 deg @ 213pm. Will they tie the all-time rec of 123 deg? Stay tuned…#cawx

Meanwhile, Thermal also had a high temperature of 122 degrees. This also set a record for the date, but was four degrees below Thermal’s all-time high.
Thermal has set a new record high today! 122 surpasses the old record of 121 set just last year. #cawx

Note: June 20 seems to be doing a regular thing lately of being hot AF, so go ahead and make reservations at the beach now for June 20, 2018.
Congrats on making it through without melting. Your reward: a forecasted high temp of only 119 degrees on Wednesday.
