Despite many in the Valley wanting relief from the heat, intense weather continues this week.
The National Weather Service in Phoenix forecasts high temperatures being up 110 degrees with a small chance for thunderstorms. That means it’s best to limit outdoor activities.
Katherine Berislavich is a meteorologist with the weather agency in Phoenix.
“If you can stay inside, stay inside with AC and fans. Try to limit your time outside," she said.
An extreme heat warning has been issued in Phoenix until Wednesday. Berislavich also recommends people wear light clothing and put on sunscreen.
