Phoenix Warmth Returns with Mid-90s Temperatures, Safety Precautions Urged

Rising temperatures are set to make a comeback after several pleasant days with lows of around 80 degrees Fahrenheit in Arizona’s capital, Phoenix. On Sunday, the city experienced an afternoon high of 88°F which is average for this time of year (May 1st). However, temperatures will continue their ascent over the next couple of days due to warmer air creeping northward from the south and southwest regions. Monday’s forecast calls for a return to low 90s with an expected high temperature in Phoenix reaching 92°F under sunny skies. By Tuesday, temperatures will reach mid-90s as winds begin picking up speeds of around 20 miles per hour (mph). The state is set to remain dry due to breezy conditions on Wednesday and Thursday caused by a passing system located far north from Arizona’s borders. Despite the lack of precipitation forecast for the following ten days in Phoenix, outdoor enthusiasts should remember safety precautions while hiking or spending extended periods outside during this time period as temperatures continue their upward trend with highs reaching mid-90s starting Friday and upper 90s from Sunday onwards.
