Temperatures in Phoenix have been in the triple digits every day since May 27. That’s the longest run of 100 degree days ever.
National Weather Service meteorologist David Trampp said Phoenix is in for a hot and dry Labor Day weekend, so this long streak of triple-digit days won’t be broken anytime soon.
“It's looking like no relief as far as precipitation or cooling in sight,” Tramp said. “At least going into next week we’re definitely not going to even come close.”
This year, Phoenix already broke the record for most nights with lows in the 90s. And Phoenix is just a few days shy of the record for most days above 110. All of those records combined mean the average temperature throughout June, July and August this year in Phoenix has been the hottest ever for those three months.
The end of this year’s hot weather is still likely several weeks away. Since the 1990s, the last 100 degree day of the year has fallen around Oct. 5, according to the National Weather Service.
