PHOENIX — Phoenix is in the middle of the longest stretch of triple-digit days ever recorded!
As of today, we've had 81 days in a row at 100 degrees or hotter. The previous record was 76 consecutive triple-digit days set in August of 1993.
And there is no relief in sight!
Valley highs will top out around 110 degrees over the next several days with overnight lows in the upper 80s to low 90s.
As temperatures heat up, we're also getting close to the record number of days with lows in the 90s.
So far this year, we've had 33 days with overnight lows in the 90s. The record is 35 days, set just last year. We could tie that record over the weekend and potentially break it next week.
The Valley will stay dry, but as monsoon moisture returns we could see a few showers and thunderstorms develop across southeastern Arizona on Friday.
Our next chance for rain here in the Valley will be Saturday and slight chances for isolated storms will continue throughout next week.
