90. Phoenix, AZ
Sat Aug 5, 2017, 11:51 AM
Aug 2017

It is not yet 10 and it is already 95 but that's actually not to bad for this time of year. However, the current humidity is 40 which is about as high as it gets here so that's going to make today's forecasted 105 worse than when the humidity is 5!

There have been times in late Aug, early Sept where the overnight lows have stayed above 100. I think the highest official temp I've seen since living here was 121 or 123.

I actually like the heat so I don't mind. I prefer 115 in the summer to negative temps in the winter.
