Brace yourself, Phoenix! As we head into hotter days, it's clear that summer isn't just knocking at the door—it's already halfway through the living room. The National Weather Service predicts that temperatures will soar this week with the mercury hitting highs consistently near the sizzling 90s. Today's outlook calls for a sunny high around 91 degrees, with a comfortable dip to 65 tonight. Calm winds will grace the evenings, providing a slight reprieve from the day's heat.
Throughout the weekend, don't expect much variation—the sun will dominate the sky, pushing temperatures even higher, with Sunday's high on the rise toward a sweltering 96 degrees, according to National Weather Service reports. The wind isn't giving anyone a break either; as they could gust as high as 22 mph on Saturday and then it's like the atmosphere just decides to keep the pressure on, with similar conditions expected on Sunday night.
The heat only intensifies as we move into next week, with Monday's high teetering on the edge of triple digits at a scorching 98 degrees. If you're hoping for some cloud cover or a magical weather reprieve, keep dreaming. The forecast from the National Weather Service remains steadfast with clear nights and unyieldingly sunny days through Thursday, all floating around that same high heat mark of 97 degrees.
Phoenix's Fox 10 also chimes in on the heat wave, noting that today's temperature already hit a warm 77 degrees early in the morning. The heat will continue to climb, peaking at 96 degrees and with lows only slightly cooling to 74 degrees, while the high for tomorrow is expected to match today's at 96 degrees, as FOX 10 Phoenix reported. Looking ahead, be prepared for a sweltering week as Friday and Saturday's temperatures could soar to 101 and 102 degrees; even as the week progresses, there's nary a cloud in sight, with the sun holding court in the sky and pushing temps to highs in the mid-90s through Wednesday.
