Hot and dry conditions will continue across New Mexico through Monday, with heat advisories remaining in effect for Chaves and Eddy counties. Most areas are to remain dry overnight, with light breezes across northern New Mexico.
On Sunday, hot and dry weather will prevail statewide. Temperatures in Albuquerque will reach the upper 90s, while parts of eastern and southeastern New Mexico will see highs exceeding 100 degrees.
Heat advisories are in effect from noon to 8 p.m. Sunday for Chaves and Eddy counties.
The extreme heat could increase the risk of heat-related illnesses. Residents should drink plenty of fluids, stay in air‑conditioned rooms, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and check on relatives and neighbors who may be vulnerable to the heat.
Hot and mainly dry conditions will continue Monday, with temperatures again reaching the upper 90s in Albuquerque and climbing above 100 degrees in southeastern New Mexico.
