• Monday (June 23): Heat climbs back to 101 °F, with sunshine dominating and continued warm nights around 68 °F.

✅ Safety Tips & Weekend Planning

• Avoid grilling or fireworks in or near the desert—conditions are extremely combustible.
• Stay securely hydrated—drink water frequently and limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat.
• Use early mornings or late evenings for lakeside fun to dodge the daytime highs.
• Check local fire restrictions daily; a casual campfire could spark a major wildfire under these conditions.

🏜 What It Feels Like Out There

Expect the desert to bake under strong sunlight and warm winds. Days will feel relentless, but the evenings are reliably pleasant. If you’re traveling to Alamo Lake, prepare for extreme heat—but know relief is just a sunset away.
