Phoenix, AZ – Phoenix residents are preparing for a sweltering week as temperatures soar above 100°F every day. Starting Monday, highs are expected to reach 106°F, with Tuesday forecasted to peak at a blistering 107°F. This intense heatwave will persist, with daily temperatures remaining well into the triple digits.
According to local meteorologists, the ongoing heatwave results from a high-pressure system parked over the region, trapping hot air. The National Weather Service warns residents to take precautions, particularly on Tuesday when the heat will be most extreme. Hydration, staying indoors during peak heat hours, and wearing light clothing are strongly recommended.
Nighttime temperatures will offer little relief, with lows only dipping to around 79°F. This prolonged exposure to extreme heat raises concerns about heat-related illnesses, especially for vulnerable populations.
Phoenix authorities urge everyone to remain vigilant and prioritize safety during this extreme weather period. Emergency services are on standby, and cooling centers are open across the city for those in need.
This heatwave underscores the importance of heat safety awareness as Phoenix endures another record-breaking summer.
