Phoenix Temperature Hits At Least 100 For 100th Straight Day
The temperature hit 102 F in Phoenix on May 27 and has made it to triple digits every day since.
It’s always hot this time of year in central Arizona, but 2024 is proving to be an endless summer with especially high temperatures in Phoenix. On Tuesday, the city hit its 100th straight day with at least 100 degree temperatures. That’s long since shattered the record of 76 days in a row set back in 1993, according to data from the National Weather Service.

In Phoenix, there have been 37 nights this summer that didn’t cool off below 90 degrees F ( 32.2 C), another record.
There have also been 54 days of 110 degree temperatures, which is just one day away from breaking the record of 55 days last year. That number could be broken later this week. The heat is tough for everyone, but is particularly difficult for low-income areas.

No one is supposed to live there year-round. Maybe stop by to pick up essentials at the general store and move on.
It's like living in hell.

So glad I’m not there anymore. Worst place I ever lived and I’ve lived from coast to coast.

Build a citu in the middle of the desert, expect it to be hot.
Build a city on a flood plain, expect it to flood.
Build a city on a faultline, expect earthquakes.

Send Dump there for a photo op. Don't let him leave. The heat combined with the shit he eats will do everyone a favour.

Phoenix is a terrible place for a city. Its elevation is a mere 1000 feet. By comparison Albuquerque is 5000 feet and Santa Fe is 7000 feet, and both are much more bearable in the summer.

Would you rather live in the South, where they have 100 degree heat AND high humidity, constant storms, hail, tornados and hurricanes? It's a case of pick your poison.

Same. Depressing and soulless.

R10 and don't forget California with its wildfires, mudslides, droughts, power outages, earthquakes and record-breaking heat

I lived there for over ten years, and this is what is really brutal. I could deal with the heat when the sun was up (somewhat), but even at night, it is brutal. It just sucks. I don't know how I lasted as long as I did.

All this and still the comeback I get from my good friends have lived there for 20 years "But the Winters are WONDERFUL!"

An old work friend got early retirement and proudly announced that he and his wife were leaving our snowy Chicago, selling all their coats and sweaters and moving to Phoenix. His golden parachute didn't provide like they thought, so he had to get part-time work, at age 62, on the Tarmac at the Phoenix airport throwing luggage around for United.
I can't imagine worse choices. He has to buy new shoes every month as the heat melts the soles.
He'll be dead within two years, for sure.
