Phoenix Heat Arrives Early Again

Phoenix just shattered heat records early this year, hitting 110 degrees twice in a row—June 13th and 14th—way ahead of the usual June 11th average. While March 18th still holds the record for earliest 100-degree day, the real scorcher arrived later than expected. With a hotter-than-average summer predicted, Phoenix is bracing for more extreme heat. Last year’s April 10th 100-degree debut and June 14th 110-degree peak show how unpredictable timing can be. Over the past 30 years, the city averages 111 days at or above 100°F—with a record 145 days in 2020—and 21 days hitting 110°F or higher. The all-time record of 122°F still stands from June 26, 1990, while last year’s hottest days reached 118°F twice in July and August. Heat typically lingers until October 7th for 100°F and August 26th for 110°F. Stay hydrated—it’s only going to get hotter. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
