PHOENIX — Phoenix’s daily heat streak record reached 19 days on Saturday.

The temperature at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which the National Weather Service (NWS) uses for the city’s official records, hit 104 degrees at 2:40 p.m. The previous record of 103 degrees was set in 1950.

Phoenix has broken daily heat records 17 times and tied two more since the streak began on Sept. 24.

When will the daily heat record streak in Phoenix end?

The end is right around the corner for record high temperatures in Phoenix.

High temperatures are forecast to remain about even to daily records through Monday before a possible disruption comes Tuesday.

The high for that day is forecast to be 97 degrees. The record high for the day is 103 degrees, achieved in 1996.

If the streak reaches until Tuesday, it’ll triple the previous record mark and reach 21 days.

An excessive heat warning, which spanned a record 14 days and was extended multiple times, expired four days ago.
