Phoenix, AZ — Arizona residents should brace for a rapid spring warm-up, with Phoenix temperatures forecast to climb steadily from 87°F on Monday to a scorching 95°F by Wednesday. The clear skies and dry air may appeal to sun seekers, but the National Weather Service warns of increased heat exposure risk and road glare for drivers along I-10 and I-17 during afternoon peak hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Phoenix, Monday’s weather will remain mostly sunny with a high near 87°F and calm winds shifting southeast near 5 mph. By Tuesday, temperatures jump to 92°F under continued sunny skies and calm conditions, with overnight lows staying mild around 63°F. The dry spring air, combined with high UV levels, raises concerns for outdoor workers, hikers, and those commuting on sun-drenched roadways.
Drivers along Interstate 10 and 17 should be alert for windshield glare during late morning and early evening commutes. The low humidity and warm temperatures can also cause faster dehydration, so hydration and sun protection are key for anyone spending extended time outside.
