PHOENIX, ARIZ. – Arizona’s classic fall warmth is back. Sunny skies and climbing temperatures will send highs near 90°F across the Phoenix metro by Monday, a reminder that autumn in the desert still sizzles.
According to the National Weather Service in Phoenix, calm winds and clear skies will dominate through the start of next week. Outdoor events, from fall markets to pumpkin patches, will bask under cloudless skies and light breezes. Those traveling along I-10 or Loop 202 should prepare for sun glare during morning and evening commutes, and hikers are urged to carry extra water as afternoon heat builds again.
Saturday and Sunday will both stay bright and warm, with highs near 84°F and 88°F, respectively. The pattern strengthens Monday with highs peaking close to 90°F, marking one of the warmest late-October starts in several years. Lows remain mild, mostly in the low 60s, keeping early mornings pleasant for joggers and cyclists.
By midweek, a light easterly flow brings a subtle cool-down, trimming highs back to the mid-80s. Skies stay bone-dry, ensuring ideal conditions for fall decorating, desert hikes, or backyard gatherings. No rain is expected in the Valley through late week.
This stretch represents the best of Phoenix’s “second summer”—warm, dry, and brilliantly sunny—before the next cooling trend heads toward the end of October.
