Phoenix, Arizona – Summer will hit hard in Phoenix on Tuesday, June 3rd, with near-triple-digit temperatures and hazy skies due to wildfire smoke drifting south. Public health officials warn that the air quality may drop across Maricopa County by the afternoon, especially along I-10 and in low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Phoenix, Tuesday’s high will reach 97°F under sunny skies, with calm morning winds becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. While no heat advisory has been issued yet, vulnerable groups — including children, seniors, and outdoor workers — should limit sun exposure from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has flagged a potential rise in particulate levels due to smoke from Canadian wildfires.
By Tuesday night, skies will remain partly cloudy with mild breezes and a low around 76°F. Though no storms are in the immediate forecast, stagnant air may trap pollutants overnight, compounding health concerns for those with asthma or respiratory conditions.
This early June heat marks the unofficial start of Arizona’s summer pattern. Residents should hydrate frequently, avoid peak sun hours, and check on neighbors and pets. Cooling centers are available throughout the Valley — visit azdhs.gov for locations.
Warnings may be issued if smoke concentration worsens or highs cross 100°F midweek. Stay updated through local alerts and prepare for a hot, dry stretch.
