Breaking news: Phoenix tops 110 degrees for a 19th day in a row, beating its previous record, as relentless heat dome covers the southern U.S.
“I’m prepared,” said Warren, 29, who has lived in Phoenix her entire life. “But it’s different. I ain’t ever felt this heat. This is a different type of heat.”Temperatures have tied or broken daily records four of the past five days at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, including a high of 118 degrees Saturday.
Phoenix is enduring one of its longest stretches ever observed without measurable precipitation, and that lack of rain and clouds is helping the heat to persist. Only traces of rain have been observed at Sky Harbor over the past 118 days, one of the 10 longest such streaks there, according to the National Weather Service.
The heat is the product of an unusually strong and persistent area of high pressure that has remained over the southwest for weeks, allowing the region to bake under sunny skies. Other heat domes are fueling extreme temperatures over the Atlantic Ocean, southern Europe and northern Africa, and southern Asia.
