Tucson, AZ – A heatwave will impact southern Arizona this week, with temperatures expected to soar to 105°F by Tuesday. Residents and visitors should prepare for dangerously high temperatures through Thursday, with daily highs over 100°F.
According to the National Weather Service, sunny skies and excessive heat will dominate the region through the week, making outdoor activities hazardous. Tuesday’s forecast calls for a high of 105°F with moderate winds, and overnight temperatures in the mid-70s won’t offer much relief.
To stay safe, limit outdoor exposure, especially during the peak afternoon heat. Avoid travel on major roadways like I-10 and I-19, where asphalt temperatures can become extreme. Drink plenty of water, and check on vulnerable family members and neighbors.
By Wednesday, Tucson will still see temperatures near 100°F, with relief not expected until later in the week. Thursday’s forecast predicts a high of 102°F before cooling slightly on Friday.
