Heat isn't anything new in the Valley of the Sun. Here are the records and stats for extreme heat in Phoenix.
1. 122 degrees on June 26, 1990
2. 121 degrees on July 28, 1995
3. 120 degrees on June 25, 1990
4. 119 degrees on June 20, 2017
5. 119 degrees on June 29, 2013
Sometimes it’s hot somtimes it’s not. 😳
Constructing “heat island” cities like Phoenix in the middle of the desert absorbs heat. Duh.
I did some of that construction.

I am in Palm Desert in Ca. it is 113* today supposed to be 116* tomorrow, looks like the next 2 weeks will be the same!! This winter we had much cooler weather than usual with lots of wind!! THANK GOODNESS for AC!!!
saw the strangest thing on a map of Furnace Creek, Death Valley California....the little town has a 18 hole Golf Course! A golf course...in Death Valley?? Why would anyone go out there and play golf...sounds crazy.
In 1965, I spent two weeks at the Rayado base camp at the Philmont (Boy) Scout reservation. The temperature was over 100 Fahrenheit everyday. Two weeks prior, the Rayado river had risen twelve feet and flooded the whole base camp.
Not that it matters but I’ve been to the area many times when it’s pushing 118-120. I don’t buy the narrative.
Where is the Phoenix weather station?
For most major USA cities - at the airport!
Seattle has official airport temps.
Those temps are consistently 1-3 degrees F hotter than the downtown temps at the network news channels.
Wonder what temps were when Spaniards explored? Oh? We don’t know?
I went to HS in small town 40 miles east of Ft. Smith Ark. One summer in 1975 it was over 100 everyday for 2 weeks.
I remember a few years the BBC lied about a “heat wave” in the UK. There was a day where London exceed 40 degrees Celsius and claimed it was the first time the UK’s history that the temperature exceeded 40 degrees C. Now that may be true since they started measuring temperatures in Celsius but in the early 1970’s and before when London was on the Fahrenheit scale, there were several instances where it went over the 40 degrees Celsius when one converts. They want to keep the climate change scam going by fooling people.
The other scam argument is the named storms argument. The media will claim “scientists” have recorded a “record number” of named storms. That is BS as well because storms weren’t named until they became hurricanes and later on they started naming the storms at the tropical storm level. Now they name the storm at the tropical depression level. When one changes and broadens the definition of a named storm, of course there will be record named storms.
Oh please stop this record breaking stuff.
It gets hot in the summer.
You are lucky you weren’t alive before air conditioning.
I lived in Tucson back from March of 1991 toMarch of 1994. Somewhere in there we had a summer where we had ten days where the temps never went below a hundred. That was unusual, because temps used to drop quite a bit at night. I’m pretty sure it was during monsoon season and we had cloud cover holding the heat in over night. Tucson never got as hot as Phoenix, always ran about 5-10 degrees cooler. Depending.
Pleasant in winter.
And weather people....stop using that "index"...you know...that "feels like" thing.
I lovin’ it.
