Blazing Forecast Alert: Phoenix’s Unseasonable Heatwave Might Break 1925 Temperature Records

Don’t let February fool you—Phoenix is cranking up the heat! This week, the city will experience unseasonably warm temperatures nearing 83°F, with the potential to break records last seen in 1925. If you thought winter was sticking around, think again. Here’s the full breakdown and how to stay cool.

Forecast Breakdown:

  • Monday (Today): High of 83°F (28°C), partly sunny, and warm. Expect a comfortable low of 54°F tonight.
  • Tuesday: Another warm day with a high of 84°F, partly cloudy skies, and a low of 52°F.
  • Wednesday: Pleasantly warm with abundant sunshine, high of 79°F, and low of 50°F.

Why It’s a Big Deal

February typically brings cooler days to Phoenix, with average highs around 70°F. However, this week’s forecast will keep temperatures running well above normal, making it feel more like early spring. While not extreme, the warm spell could flirt with records, especially on Tuesday.

How to Stay Safe in the Heat

  • Hydrate: Always carry water, even if you’re only stepping out briefly.
  • Wear Cool Clothing: Lightweight, breathable fabrics will help beat the heat.
  • Limit Outdoor Activities: Avoid prolonged exposure during peak heat hours (12-4 PM).
  • Check on Vulnerable Groups: Children, the elderly, and pets need extra care during warmer weather.

What’s Next?

No severe weather alerts are in place, but the National Weather Service is monitoring any changes. With the current dry conditions, residents should remain cautious and keep an eye on local forecasts.
