Phoenix residents are bracing for a sizzling week ahead as temperatures are expected to soar into the high 90s and even hit the triple digits, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service and FOX 10 Phoenix. The NWS predicts a blazing stretch with sunny skies and temperatures peaking at 91 degrees today, before climbing higher to near 98 degrees on Monday. Evening conditions will provide a mild reprieve, with lows hovering in the mid-60s to low 70s throughout the week.
As Phoenix heats up, residents kick off their weekend with a comfortable start with clear skies and a low around 65 degrees tonight, but the warm-up continues as the sun rises on Saturday leading to an expected high of 93 degrees and gusts up to 22 mph, clear, and low temperatures teasing the mid-60s, Sunday night forecasts promise a low of 71. Those preparing for outdoor activities should plan according to the hour-by-hour projections detailed by FOX 10 Phoenix, which sees an early morning low at 76 degrees at 5 AM then temperatures climb by the hour reaching a sweltering 101 degrees by mid-afternoon.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, both weather outlets concur on the sunny and hot conditions. The mercury will not ease much, with the National Weather Service indicating consecutive days of heat, as the highs will persist near 97 degrees from Tuesday through Thursday. Overnight temperatures will linger comfortably in the low 70s, providing some relief from the daytime heat.
FOX 10 Phoenix's 7-day outlook echoes this fiery forecast, signaling there's no significant cooldown in sight with highs maintaining the mid to high 90s for the week ahead, though the network suggests a slight dip midweek with Monday's high at 93 degrees and Tuesday following suit at 94 degrees before bouncing back up to 96 degrees for Wednesday and holding steady through the rest of the week, nightfall brings temperatures down to the high 60s and low 70s, offering respite under mostly clear skies. For those venturing out in the evening chill, it's a respite, albeit a temporary one, as the desert sun will surely reclaim its fiery throne come dawn.
