Arizona – Clear desert skies stretch over the Valley as mild air lingers before sunrise, hinting at a fast warm-up once the sun clears the horizon. Early temperatures sit near 60 degrees, but heat builds quickly after breakfast.
According to the National Weather Service, Phoenix climbs into the mid-80s today under full sunshine. Winds stay light, allowing temperatures to rise efficiently through the afternoon. By late day, pavement and parking lots will radiate heat, making it feel warmer than expected for early February.
This quick warm-up has real impacts. Outdoor workers should plan hydration breaks. Drivers may notice heat shimmer along I-10 and Loop 202 during peak afternoon travel. To be fair, conditions remain calm, but the sun angle is strong for this time of year.
Tonight stays clear with lows dipping into the mid-50s. The cooling is brief. Monday repeats the pattern, reaching near 84 degrees again with nearly identical conditions. Morning commuters enjoy cool air, while afternoon errands feel more like late spring.
By Tuesday, a subtle shift arrives. Highs ease back into the low 80s as thin clouds drift overhead. The change is minor but noticeable, especially during the evening. Wednesday trends slightly cooler again, with highs near the upper 70s and more clouds filtering sunlight.
Looking ahead into the 6–10 day window, above-normal temperatures remain favored across central Arizona. While this is not a heat wave, it signals an early taste of spring. No rain appears imminent, keeping soils dry and fire danger gradually elevated.
Plan outdoor activities early in the day, keep water nearby, and expect wide temperature swings from morning to afternoon. Feeling the warmth where you are? Share how hot it felt in your neighborhood today.
