Former Matchbox 20 frontman-turned-solo singing star Rob Thomas once proclaimed, “It’s a hot one!” over a slinky, late-90s, Latin-rock banger that dominated the airwaves just before the dawn of the new millennium.

Well it’s once again time to search “Santana” on Audacy and crank up those summertime vibes because, while the actual season doesn’t begin for another month, Mother Nature is already bringing the heat all across the country.

A number of states scattered across the nation have already experienced record heat for this time of year over the last two weeks, with some places registering temperatures up to 25 degrees above the normal average.

The National Weather Service reported that three Texas cities – Amarillo, Dallas and San Antonio – set new high-temperature marks on Tuesday, as did Roswell, N.M.

Meteorologists are projecting over 100 new heat records could be set across the country by Friday with temperatures in many places in the southern part of the country already reaching the 100s by the weekend.
