Over the last few days, Phoenicians haven't been able to escape the heat, even when the sun goes down.
Matthew Hirsh with the National Weather Service says the low temperature before midnight Monday night was 101. Hirsh says it’s not often that the temperature doesn’t drop below 90 overnight during the summer. And, this is the earliest that's happened.
“Well, what’s interesting is that it didn’t drop below 90 also last year in June— on June 27th. So, it looks like we beat that record by a few days.”
And another record may have been broken early Tuesday morning. Unofficially, the low overnight temperature of 91 would make it the warmest recorded low for this date.
