Phoenix, AZ – Arizona’s record-breaking dry spell is now at 146 days, with no measurable rain recorded since August. This streak puts Phoenix within striking distance of the city’s second-longest dry period, which reached 147 days in 2023.
According to the National Weather Service, sunny skies will dominate the region through the week, with highs in the low 70s on Thursday and Friday. Overnight temperatures will dip into the low 40s, providing cool evenings despite the daytime warmth. The current weather pattern offers no immediate relief, with no rain in the extended forecast.
Motorists traveling along major routes like I-10 and Loop 202 can expect excellent visibility and calm conditions. However, dry air increases wildfire risks in open areas. Residents are urged to avoid burning debris and to follow local fire safety regulations.
Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday will bring slightly warmer temperatures, with highs reaching 73°F and 65°F, respectively. The weekend will remain sunny and clear, with highs in the mid-60s and lows in the high 30s.
Phoenix’s dry streak is not just impacting the city; Yuma, AZ, has now reached 161 days without measurable rain, setting its own local record. Residents across Arizona are reminded to conserve water as drought conditions persist statewide.
