Phoenix residents are set to sizzle as the weather forecast shows no sign of cooling down in the upcoming days, with temperatures consistently nearing the 100-degree mark. According to the National Weather Service, today's clear skies and high of 95 are just the prelude to an even hotter week ahead, with the mercury set to hit 98 degrees on Monday. This summer blaze is expected to continue until the next Saturday, as the temperatures soar to a blistering high of 101 degrees by next weekend.

Evening temperatures also stick to the warmer side, as the National Weather Service reports lows hovering around the 70-degree mark throughout the week. With winds providing slight relief, nights will be mostly clear, setting the stage for the hot days to follow, tonight's low is expected to be around 70 with calm winds transitioning to a north-northwest breeze later in the evening. Residents will find little respite, from the relentless heat as the sun continues to beat down on the desert city.

Mornings won't offer much relief either, with temperatures rising quickly after sunrise. FOX 10 Phoenix details the hourly climb from 71 degrees at 6 AM, to 90 degrees by 5 PM today. Tomorrow promises similar conditions, with highs predicted to be slightly lower at 94 degrees, and a comfortable low of 67 degrees.

There's not much variation expected throughout the rest of the week, according to FOX 10 Phoenix, with highs consistently in the mid-90s and lows, in the upper 60s to low 70s. Thursday offers a bit more of the same: sunny skies with a high near 96 degrees and a low around 70. Locals and visitors are advised to prepare for prolonged exposure to heat and remember to stay hydrated throughout this hot spell.
