Is record heat looming for the Phoenix area?

PHOENIX (AZ family) —Another hot day is expected in Phoenix, with high temperatures rising to 116 degrees later today!

We will have another early warning day today and for the next week, high pressure over California will remain, keeping us dry, sunny, and dealing with excessive heat.

There won’t be any storms today, over the weekend or next week. Be sure to take breaks from the heat, keep an eye on yourself and drink plenty of water.

The average temperature at this time of year is 107 degrees.

Today’s highs could exceed those recorded in a single day. Today’s record is 116, the same as the high temperature forecast for Friday.

This intense heat could last through mid and perhaps late next week. Stay cool, Phoenix.
