As Phoenicians brace themselves for the approaching high temperatures, the National Weather Service's latest forecast predicts a scorching week ahead. The weather update for Phoenix, AZ, shows a climb to a high near 99°F today. This evening is expected to be clear with a low around 76°F, and the rest of the week is forecasted to follow a similar pattern with sunny days and clear nights.
The weekend temperatures are set to rise even further, with Saturday's high near 104°F. By Sunday, the mercury is expected to touch 107°F. A consistent calm wind will become west around 5 mph in the afternoons across the next several days, easing the heat slightly for those trying to find comfort in the shade. Interestingly, despite the rising temperatures, the forecast predicts nights to remain fairly consistent, with lows hovering around the mid-70s—an apparent disparity that desert dwellers know all too well.
Into the next workweek, there's no respite from the dry heat in sight. Monday and Tuesday are expected to mirror Sunday's conditions, with sunny skies leading to high near 107°F and lows resting at a comfortable 79°F, as reported by the NWS. In what comes as no surprise for a city synonymous with sweltering summer heat, Phoenix's forecast for Wednesday remains unchanged - sunny with a high near 105°F.
