Phoenix starts the workweek on the toasty side Monday, June 29, 2026, with clear skies, a morning low near 77°F, and an afternoon high expected to top out around 102°F. Winds begin out of the south at light to moderate speeds before swinging westerly later in the day, with metro gusts around 10 to 20 mph.
What To Expect This Week
Temperatures stay a bit below normal through most of the workweek, which in Phoenix-speak means highs near 100°F on Tuesday, June 30, and Wednesday, July 1, instead of a full-on furnace. A gradual warming trend builds in later in the week, setting the stage for a hotter stretch heading into the weekend.
Afternoons and evenings will turn breezy, especially in higher terrain east of Phoenix where gusts could reach 25 to 35 mph. The Valley should see lighter gusts, but the combination of very dry air and receptive fuels keeps fire weather concerns elevated through Tuesday.
A Wind Advisory remains in effect for the far southwest corner of Imperial County from 5 p.m. Monday, June 29, through 8 a.m. Tuesday, June 30, according to the National Weather Service Phoenix. Check local timing and specific locations if you are traveling or working in that area.
Heat Relief And Safety
The city operates a Heat Relief Network of cooling centers and hydration stations around the Valley. If you need a cool place to be or help getting there, call 2-1-1 or visit the city’s listing for locations and hours.
Standard desert survival rules still apply: avoid strenuous outdoor work in the mid-afternoon, drink water regularly, keep pets indoors and off hot pavement, and check in on older neighbors or anyone without reliable air conditioning. For maps, hours, and more tips, see the City of Phoenix Heat Safety page.
Local Context
Earlier this month, forecast models suggested a sharper midweek spike in temperatures, and we leaned into that outlook when we highlighted the stronger midweek heat burst in our June 22 reporting. The latest forecast is a modest adjustment: a milder midweek period now, followed by a warmer Fourth of July weekend.
In other words, enjoy the relative break while it lasts, plan outdoor plans with the heat in mind, and keep an eye on updated forecasts before heading out.
