I lived in Phoenix about 35 years ago, and I remember that it would stay above 100 degrees around the clock for weeks during the summer.
This article is just climate change gaslighting hysteria.
It’s hot in Phoenix! Especially now since the urban heat mass has gotten huge.
yes, the urban heat island phenomenon is a factor in these high temperatures.
But just because there are more man made structures absorbing heat, does not mean that the overall weather patterns have changed.
I lived in Tucson in the early 1990s and we had one summer where the temps didn't go below 100 for at least ten days (that is to include overnight temps). Tucson always ran about 5-10 degrees cooler than Phoenix any given day. I know Phoenix had similar temps back then. The line that the highest recorded overnight low temp from 2009 is bovine excrement.
My grandparents lived in Scottsdale for years. In the early 60’s, it would cool down at night. Not anymore.
we had to stay overnight in Phx several yrs ago....its was 106 at 10 pm...
