I think it was 1990 or so when 122 was reached at PHO. I got a t-shirt. I used to travel between Quartzsite and LV and it was brutal.
I lived in Glendale at the time. I think i was off playing at a park near our home on that day. It is strange not hitting 100 degrees without monsoonal activity. Yesterday I was in my backyard around noon and felt a cool breeze. Kinda of nice, but I wish it was more like in the 70’s for highs, so I can turn off both air conditioners. Oh, well. LOL!!!
