Phoenix, AZ – The desert wakes under a quiet, golden sunrise this Sunday, as another warm spell grips the Valley. The air feels calm, dry, and still — classic October weather for Phoenix — and that pattern looks locked in for the week ahead. According to the National Weather Service, sunshine will dominate through at least Wednesday, with temperatures climbing near 90°F each afternoon.
Light easterly breezes will keep conditions pleasant early, but by Tuesday, high pressure strengthens, sending highs back to near 90°F. Skies will remain mostly clear, allowing for quick temperature drops after sunset — lows dip to the low 60s, offering cool, comfortable evenings for outdoor dining or late walks.
Forecasters say no rain is expected through Thursday, continuing the city’s streak of bone-dry days. A slight cooldown may arrive late in the week as winds shift north and highs ease back into the upper 80s. For now, humidity stays low, meaning excellent visibility and prime weather for hiking, travel, or fall events.
Heading into next weekend, models hint at subtle pattern changes across the Southwest — potentially signaling the first return of desert breezes and a gradual trend toward cooler late-October air. Still, with steady sunshine and mild nights ahead, residents can expect a postcard-perfect start to the week — ideal for outdoor plans before fall’s next transition arrives.
