Saturday’s temperature had triggered an excessive heat warning across Arizona as lows were expected to range between 80F and 86F
On Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service announced that the temperature at Phoenix Sky Harbor international airport reached 110F, making it the 54th day this year with temperatures of at least 110F.
Saturday’s temperature breaks the previous record of 53 days that was set in 2020. From 1991 to 2020, the average consecutive days of 110F or above is 21 days, the NWS said.
An excessive heat warning has been issued for south central and south-west Arizona until 8pm on Sunday as weekend highs are expected to range between 108F and 114F. Meanwhile, lows are expected to range between 80F to 86F.
110F = 43.33C if anyone else was wondering.
Jesus fuck that’s brutal even for a desert.
a monument to mans arrogance
But who cares about the climate change? Today we have a new iPhone release, isn’t it?
More cameras? More battery life? More workers rights?
No! Just more greed of those old men sitting behind their desks and playing with our world as their little toy as Bob Dylan said in his song.
I believe the headline is wrong. It’s not 54 consecutive days, it’s 54 days this year total.
In July, Phoenix broke it’s previous record of consecutive days above 110F with a 31-day streak. Previous record was 18 straight days 1974.
Yeah seriously we had a few days of weather in the 80s when it rained not too long ago.
How do I report a title as inaccurate?
Can confirm this headline is incorrect.
Phoenix is a monument to human arrogance. it is a city smack dab in the middle of a desert. Who the Fuck Knew It Could Be So Hot In a D E S E R T.
Nothing to see here folks, just more of the China hoax on climate change.
Believe what I tell you, not what you see.
I am going to need to see a breakdown on deaths by political affiliation to gauge how to feel about this.
I’m sure deaths by age group will help you feel something.
If any city can survive this, it’s Phoenix. From this oppressive heat, they will rise once again from the smoldering ashes. Not like the phoenix after which they were named, but like any non-mythical bird. They will smolder and scatter like the ashes of an unplucked pigeon that got caught in the chimney, causing the homeowners to ask “what on earth is that smell? Did something die?”
