It was a record-setting day on many fronts for metro Phoenix. We started with a low of 97 degrees at Sky Harbor Airport. That’s the warmest low recorded in Phoenix since they began taking weather measurements in 1895. The previous record, 96, was set on July 15th, 2003. One can only wonder when the first low of 100 will be recorded in Phoenix. Also, Phoenix reached a high of 119 degrees.

That set a record for today’s date, which was 116 degrees. That record went back to 1989. And, of course, we extended the number of days straight with a high of 110 degrees or more to 20 days. That heat streak could last into the middle of next week.
