On Monday, Phoenix finally stopped adding new notches to its record of consecutive days with heat of 110 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, but more hot days are just around the corner.
The high temperature at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport reached 108 degrees on Monday, according to a social media post from the National Weather Service in Phoenix.
That high on Monday ended the 31-day record of consecutive days of high temperatures of 110 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
"Wednesday will mark the start of a warming trend with high temperatures eventually expected to once again top 110 degrees over much of the lower deserts by Friday.
An Excessive Heat Watch has been issued for much of south-central Arizona from Friday through Sunday," the National Weather Service said.
