Dec 2025 Warmth

December 2025 was definitely warm... but how abnormal was this month so far? The El Paso Airport has continued to see above normal high temps throughout the month so far. Within the past week and a half temperatures have been way above normal.. anywhere from 10-20 degrees above the normal for Dec. But... I guess it does kinda checkout with us being in a La Nina pattern this winter. We're going to kill our streak of above avg warmth Monday due to a potent cold front pushing through.
