Phoenix's Relentless Heatwave Poised to Break a Record for American Cities
The length of Phoenix’s heat wave is notable even during a summer in which much of the southern United States and the world as a whole has been cooking in record temperatures, something scientists say is stoked by climate change. No other major U.S. city has had a streak of 110 degree days or 90 degree nights longer than Phoenix, said weather historian Christopher Burt of the Weather Company.
That high pressure, also known as a heat dome, has been around the Southwest cooking it for weeks, and when it moved, it moved to be even more centered on Phoenix than ever, Smith said. Since 1983, Phoenix’s average daily summer temperature has increased 3.6 degrees , it’s daily high temperature has gone up 3.2 degrees and it’s nighttime low has gone up 4.4 degrees , according to NOAA.
