YUMA, Ariz. ( KYMA, KECY-TV ) - The relentless ridge of high pressure has elevated our area temperatures to record levels for this date of the year.

Yuma reached a daytime high of 85 degrees, topping the previous record of 84 that was in place for the past 41 years.

El Centro topped their previous record of 85 degrees with 87 degrees; a record that previously lasted more than 70 years.
