Sunday’s high of 91 degrees marked the 192nd day of at least 90 degrees in the city, putting 2017 on par with 1934 for the most 90-plus degree days in a year.

But Sunday could possibly be the last day we see temperatures reach the 90s in Phoenix.

Temperatures in Phoenix are forecast to be below 90 degrees for the next seven days, according to the National Weather Service.

On average, the last 90-degree day in Phoenix typically occurs on or around Oct. 28.

But that does not mean it couldn’t happen later: The latest that a 90-degree day occurred in the city was Nov. 15, 1999.
