PHOENIX — The warming trend continues today, leading up to the first weekend of spring!
The first weekend of the season will feature mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs climbing into the mid to upper 80s as high pressure takes hold.
With no rain in sight and an even stronger high pressure system building, temperatures will surge well above normal. By next week, highs could return to the 90s, 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 98 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.
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.
