PHOENIX — It's warm and dry across our state this week as temperatures push close to triple digits.
High pressure is building over the desert southwest, pushing highs into the 90s for several days and potentially tying or even breaking records.
Monday’s forecast calls for a high of 95 degrees, breaking the previous record of 94 set in 1990. By Tuesday, temperatures could soar to 99 degrees, surpassing the previous record of 96 set in 2022.
Phoenix even has a slight chance of reaching 100 degrees next week, far earlier than the city’s average first triple-digit day, which typically does not arrive until early May.
If we hit 100 degrees on Tuesday in Phoenix it would precede the earliest first 100 degree day by one day (March 26, 1988).
Hot temperatures continue into Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the mid 90s.
Heat risk will be moderate, meaning those sensitive to heat will be at risk for heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Now is the time to prepare for the heat.
Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours, and never leave children or pets in a parked car, even for a moment.
