Saturday’s temperature had triggered an excessive heat warning across Arizona as lows were expected to range between 80F and 86F

On Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service announced that the temperature at Phoenix Sky Harbor international airport reached 110F, making it the 54th day this year with temperatures of at least 110F.

Saturday’s temperature breaks the previous record of 53 days that was set in 2020. From 1991 to 2020, the average consecutive days of 110F or above is 21 days, the NWS said.

An excessive heat warning has been issued for south central and south-west Arizona until 8pm on Sunday as weekend highs are expected to range between 108F and 114F. Meanwhile, lows are expected to range between 80F to 86F.

take a cold shower

Well umm, that’s kinda the trick. In Phoenix in summertime, “cold” water is cold in name only. It’s more tepid than anything. That’s just another part of what makes it so oppressive living there in summer.

That’s fair. I live in the Midwest, so I’ve never had that problem and don’t have any solutions. These are things I learned while doing work like mowing, picking ragweed and rock, moving grain bins, and stuff like that

Yea, backyard pools are the norm in large swaths of the valley (Phoenix+). It’s the best way to avoid your kids burning to death if they don’t wanna go outside at midnight.

It is also a great way to stress the already stressed water ressources further, so the region will have to be depopulated earlier.

I haven’t used the hot water knob in the shower since May. Looks like it’s going to be at least another month till I do.
