Phoenix is bracing for a sweltering week ahead as temperatures are forecasted to rise steadily, reaching a scorching 113 degrees by Saturday. The clear skies above Arizona's urban heartland may seem inviting, yet residents are advised to prepare for the extreme heat that's becoming a familiar adversary in this desert metropolis, according to the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service says Friday will be extremely hot, with temperatures reaching 112 degrees. Light winds won’t bring much relief, and the heat can be dangerous—especially for those without good cooling or with health issues. Overnight, it will cool slightly to about 88 degrees.
Evenings won’t bring much relief, with overnight lows staying in the high 80s. Saturday will be even hotter, reaching 113 degrees, and Sunday won’t be much better with a high near 110, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Phoenix’s extreme heat will continue into next week. Monday and Tuesday are expected to hit 110 and 111 degrees, with only slightly cooler nights. There’s a small 10% chance of showers and storms Tuesday night, but it likely won’t bring much relief. Wednesday will stay the same—sunny and over 110 degrees again, as stated by the National Weather Service.
The extended forecast highlights the need for heat safety: stay hydrated, find shade, and never leave people or pets in parked cars. Check on elderly neighbors and anyone without air conditioning. As Phoenix faces another intense heatwave, stay updated with local alerts and forecasts to stay safe, as per the National Weather Service.
