By Wednesday afternoon, much of an area stretching from southeast California to central Arizona will see “easily their hottest” weather since last September.
PHOENIX — The first heat wave of the season has arrived earlier than usual across much of the U.S. Southwest, with dangerously hot conditions that produced triple-digit temperatures on Tuesday.
Forecast highs for Thursday included 120 F at Furnace Creek in Death Valley and 113 F in Phoenix, the latter of which would break a record high for the date of 111 F , set in 2016. “It does seem like Mother Nature is turning up the heat on us a little sooner than usual,” said Tiffany Davila, a spokesperson for the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management.
