As Phoenix braces itself for an increase in temperatures, weather forecasts have indicated that residents should expect a series of sunny and hot days ahead. According to the National Weather Service, the area will see high temperatures steadily climbing, with a peak near 97 degrees by Monday, April 22.
Starting with Thursday, the forecast suggests a pattern of increasing clouds with a high near 93 degrees and calm conditions transitioning to a light south southeast wind around 6 mph, a well-earned respite from the more intense heat to come. By the nighttime, skies are expected to mostly clear, bringing the lows to a comfortable 65 degrees. Temperatures are predicted to creep up gradually, 94 degrees on Friday, and hovering close to the high 90s come Sunday and Monday.
The consistency of this warming trend continues into the workweek, highlighted by predominantly sunny skies. If you've been putting off that air conditioning tune-up, now might be the time. As of FOX 10 Phoenix, the city won’t see much of a reprieve once the sun sets either, with night lows gently descending into the mid to upper 60s.
While no precipitation is forecasted, the extended dry spell and, rising heat are a reminder for locals to stay hydrated and protected from the sun’s powerful rays. The seven-day outlook from Fox 10 Phoenix shows consistency in the weather pattern, with the only slight relief headed their way on Thursday, April 25, where the high is expected to dip slightly to 88 degrees – possibly a signal that the desert city will get a brief break from the simmering heat that so defines its springtime.
