Phoenix Weather Update: A Brief Cool Down
According to National Weather Service meteorologists, Phoenix was at 93 degrees Fahrenheit as of 4 p.m. Tuesday and surprisingly, will not be reaching 100 degrees.
After a scorching summer, Phoenix is finally experiencing a brief cooldown.
The National Weather Service reported a high temperature of 93 degrees Fahrenheit at 4 p.m. MST on Tuesday.
“It’s not going to go to 100,” meteorologist Gabriel Lojero said, marking the end of Phoenix’s streak of 113 consecutive days of highs reaching at least 100 degrees F.
Residents like Ramiro Solis are enjoying the relief from the intense heat, expressing relief that the triple-digit temperatures have subsided.
However, the weather service warns that the cooler temperatures are only temporary. Highs are projected to range from the mid to upper 90s in the coming days, before climbing back to 102 degrees F on Sunday and 103 on Monday.
Meteorologist Sean Benedict explains, “We’re pushing the fall season. There will be more ups and downs. It’s common for this time of year.”
While the heat may still linger, Phoenix residents are hopeful for a more temperate autumn as they continue to adapt to the challenges of living in a desert climate.
