Tucson saw its first 100-degree high temperature of 2021 on Thursday afternoon — a bit earlier than the average for the first triple-digit day, the National Weather Service reported.

Jim Meyer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told the Star earlier this week that it is difficult to predict whether an earlier first 100-degree day will lead to a hotter-than-average summer. The average recorded first 100-degree day is May 25. In the last 10 years, the first 100-degree day has mostly been in May. In 2016 the first 100-degree day was on June 2, according to Star archives. The earliest 100-degree day in the last 10 years was in 2012, on April 22.
The earliest it has hit 100 was April 19, 1989. Last year, Tucson didn't see its first 100-day of the year until June 2. Although May will go down in the record books as the coolest May since 1988 at two degrees below normal, the first 100-degree day is right about on schedule with the average date of May 26.

Johnson's advice, by the way, is seconded by the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute, which represents 90 percent of the manufacturers of air conditioners in North America. Since people cool themselves in heat by perspiring, humid air can have more of a negative impact than dry air. "I might go bowling - I don't know," said Shoemaker, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Many Tucsonans remember how early summer started last year, with 100-plus temperatures striking in mid-April. A year ago yesterday, Tucson experienced its 11th triple-digit high temperature of the year. A high pressure system is keeping the hot air in Southern Arizona, said Jack Mazur of the National Weather Service.
Some say that the legend dates back to when water ran above ground, and picnickers used ice to cool their beer. When it reached 100 degrees, the chunks cracked. Last year, May 26 was the first time the 100-degree mark was reached when 103 was recorded. The last time 100 was reached here was Sept. 9, with 101.
Throughout the state yesterday, temperatures were hot. Phoenix tied a record 109 degrees for the date, set in 1968. Yuma reported a 104 and Winslow, 93.The ice on the Santa Cruz finally melted yesterday, as temperatures reached 101 in Tucson. Arizona continued to be the hottest state in the country, with nine cities surpassing the 100 mark.
State weather continued to remain sunny and warm yesterday with no precipitation reported. Gila Bend's 112 was the Arizona high, and 32 reported in the Grand Canyon was the low. Little change in temperatures is expected in Arizona through Tuesday. High-low extremes expected are 100 and 65, with occasional breezes stirring up the warm air in the valley.

Huachuca 93-58, Gila Bend 104-66, Grand Canyon 71-41, Phoenix 104-58, Safford 96-54, Tucson, 100-61, Yuma 103-70.The ice broke on the Santa Cruz River yesterday — that's the Tucson way of saying the mercury topped the magic mark of 100 for the first time this year. In fact, the temperature shot past the century line and stopped at a hot 102.
High-low readings at the University weather station yesterday were 107-62, and the previous record high for a May 11 in the university records was a 102, notched back in 1934. The high downtown was 103 as noted on Tucson Federal's time-temperature sign. This was the first 103 registered by Tucson quicksilver since Sept. 1 last year, the U.S. weather bureau at the municipal airport said.
All through the Imperial Valley of California, people were moaning and complaining about the heat. I finally crossed the Colorado, and stopped at a filling station on the outskirts of Yuma. It hadn’t cooled off any.
