Arizona weather forecast: Phoenix sees relief as temperatures drop
The Brief Temperatures in Phoenix are dropping, with Sunday expected to be one of the coolest days this week with a high of 101°. The extreme heat warning for the week has expired as a low-pressure system brings cooler conditions. A gradual warm-up is expected next week, with temperatures projected to return to around 110° PHOENIX - Phoenix is experiencing a reprieve from the recent extreme heat, with temperatures starting the weekend much cooler. On Friday, the high in Phoenix was 106 degrees, which is average for this time of year. However, Saturday evening saw temperatures around 95 degrees with winds dying down. Overnight temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 70s in the Valley, and even lower up north, with Flagstaff at 67 degrees and Sedona at 77 degrees. Sunday is forecast to be one of the coolest days of the week, with a high of 101 degrees in Phoenix. This marks a significant drop from the 117 degrees experienced earlier in the week, as the extreme heat warning has now expired. Other areas will also see cooler temperatures, including Flagstaff at 75 degrees and Show Low at 82 degrees. A low-pressure system is contributing to these cooler conditions. While Sunday will be a pleasant break, temperatures are expected to gradually increase by one to three degrees each day through Thursday, leading to a return to triple digits around 110 degrees by next week. For those planning outdoor activities on Sunday, morning temperatures will be in the 80s, rising to the 90s in the afternoon. Authorities advise applying plenty of sunscreen if heading out to the lakes, as there will be plenty of sunshine. A ridge of high pressure pushing further east will impact the East Coast, while the low-pressure system continues to keep Arizona temperatures below average for Sunday.

Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat. Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated. Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn't working, roll down all windows. Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets' paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire. Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout. MORE:

It has never rained on June 11 in Phoenix. Could it happen this year? Here's what to know
Metro Phoenix's dry summer weather isn't surprising. However, residents may be shocked to know that there is one day it has never rained — June 11. Since the National Weather Service began keeping records nearly 130 years ago, Phoenix has only seen trace amounts of rain, meaning the moisture was so light that it was not measurable, according to meteorologist Mark O'Malley. That was in 1991. There are also two other dates — May 30 and June 16 — where just 0.01 inch of rain has fallen, O'Malley confirmed. Why is that? It's because June is the driest month in Phoenix. Here's why metro Phoenix sees such dry weather in June and what to expect this week. June is the driest month for metro Phoenix, O'Malley said. On average, only 0.02 inches of rain falls during the whole month. Most years, including 2023 and 2019, no rain falls during June. "Just to get rain on any single day is an uncommon occurrence," he said. This year, an early June storm system dumped more than an inch of rain around the northern reaches of metro Phoenix, hinting at more moisture ahead than the Valley has seen over recent summers. "The first part of monsoon is not as wet as later in the monsoon," O'Malley said. "You have to pull in a lot more moisture. For Phoenix specifically, we don't start to see thunderstorms due to monsoon until about the beginning of July." News alerts in your inbox: Don't miss the important news of the day.

"We're looking for seasonably warm conditions with high temperatures in metro Phoenix of 105 to 110 degrees and then getting hotter over the weekend," he said. Here is the weather forecast for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the official weather station, according to the weather service: June 10: Sunny during the day, with a high near 106. Light and variable wind becoming west 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Mostly clear at night, with a low around 81. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm after midnight. June 11: Sunny during the day, with a high near 107. Light southwest wind becoming west 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Clear at night, with a low around 81. West wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light west southwest after midnight. June 12: Sunny during the day, with a high near 108. Light and variable wind becoming west 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Mostly clear at night, with a low around 81. West southwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. June 13: Sunny during the day, with a high near 107. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Mostly clear at night, with a low around 81. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm after midnight. June 14: Sunny during the day, with a high near 109. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon. Mostly clear at night, with a low around 82. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. June 15: Sunny and hot during the day, with a high near 111. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon.
