Phoenix typically reaches 107 for the first time around May 31, NWS said.
Tuesday’s temperature is expected to peak at 100 degrees. That was the last triple-digit day in the seven-day forecast as of Tuesday morning, with highs expected to settle between 95 and 98 degrees through Monday.
Today's high temperatures at our main climate locations. Due to the incoming system (which is why it is breezy out today), El Centro was 10 degrees cooler than Phoenix. The 107F in Phoenix is the hottest day of 2023 thus far. Expect cooler temperatures tomorrow. #azwx #cawx pic.twitter.com/BZTTpCHFyL
