Get ready, Phoenix! This weekend, the heat is on track to break records set over 100 years ago. With temperatures forecasted to reach a scorching 109 degrees on Sunday, we could be in for a historic heat wave. The previous record for that date stands at 105, set back in 1917. If we surpass that mark, it will mark a major milestone in Phoenix’s weather history.
2024 has been a year of record-breaking heat for Phoenix, with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly records falling left and right. The National Weather Service has even extended an Excessive Heat Warning through Sunday as temperatures remain well above normal.
